This 16th century fort of Arabic construction is probably one of the first
landmarks you will see upon arrival to Bahrain due to its proximity to the airport. It has
undergone extensive restoration, and is now illuminated at night, presenting a magnificent
sight. Little is known of the fort history, and there is no firm evidence of the precise
date of construction, but comprehensive excavations have been undertaken in order to
discover its past. N.B. Stout shoes should be worn if you intend to pay a visit, in order
that you can explore to the full- high heels are not suitable for climbing about on the
ramparts! |
