The old fort buries the history of Bahrain. It is well preserved with clear information showing the previous glory of the country. The trails are easy to walk. Visitors may learn more about the history of the country at the museum attached to the site.

Also known as Bahrain Fort, this is a must whilst in Bahrain. A UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stunning. Easy to walk around. You don't need good footwear. I did it in sandals. Not that big. Nice views as well.

It was a boiling hot day when we visited. Our guide was informative, telling us how the port have grown and changed over millenia. There are good paths and info board to guide you around. It's a shell of buildings, there's nothing inside to see.

The fort itself was closed when we were there as it looked like renovations were still happening so it was unclear how long this is intended to continue for. You can walk around the outside though and get some nice photos with the sea as a backdrop. About 5 minutes walk down the hill is the museum which has a cafe and toilets. You can get to the fort by public bus being bus no 23( budaiya) which goes from Manama central terminal every half hour. Bus takes cash or can buy a Go Card from the terminal office. The stop at the fort is unmarked but it is right outside and to come home it is the same but across the road. Worth it if you have time.
