A camel farm and the Bahrain International Circuit of Formula 1 are included in this excursion to the Sakhir Desert.

Description

At the scheduled time, we will pick you up from your hotel or the airport in Manama to begin this tour to the Sakhir Desert. The first stop will be the Royal Camel Farm, founded by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Salman Al Khalifa. You will have time to interact with the camels and their carers.

Next, we will visit the Bahrain International Circuit, the main venue for Formula 1 races in the Middle East, where you can take a photo next to an F1 car.

The tour will then proceed to the first oil site in the Gulf region, where oil was discovered in 1931.

We will continue to the Tree of Life, which is approximately 400 years old and stands at almost 10 meters (32.8 feet) tall, being the only tree in the area.

Afterward, we will visit a pottery workshop to observe the crafting of clay pots, followed by a visit to the Dilmun Burial Mounds, which are around 4200 years old.

After 4 hours, the tour will conclude back at the meeting point.
