This tour offers the possibility of combining almost all that the country has to offer in just one day. The tour starts with a visit to the Al Fateh Grand Mosque. An important place which gives an insight into the culture and religion of the people. With its architecture reflecting several Middle Eastern styles crowned by one the worlds largest fiberglass dome and blessed with tranquility reserved for the holiest of holy places .This mosque can accommodates over 7000 worshipers, and truly lives up to its name.

Next, visit the Bahrain National Museum built in 1988; this $34 million complex offers a comprehensive view of Bahrain through the ages. Arguably the most interesting of the exhibits in nine halls is a reconstructed ancient burial mound dating to around 2800 BC. The mound was actually plucked from the desert and reassembled in the museum. Other fascinating exhibits depict life in the Dilmun era, 19-20th century pearl-diving scenes as well as community life of Bahrain. It is the only Museum in the Middle East where all artifacts/ items displayed are from Bahrain, some dating back to 3000 BC.

Drive on to the Bahrain Fort. Historically, this is one of Bahrain's most important sites. The fort itself was built in the 14th century by the Portuguese but excavations at the site reveal six other distinct eras of the place dating back to the Dilmun era, or around 3000 BC during which time it may have been the island's capital.
