IFLY tips

Manama Souq (2 hrs)

Souq is the Arabic word for market, and before the modern shopping malls started popping up everywhere this was the place to buy anything from clothes, electronics, incense, perfumes, food, spices, gold and much more.

Of course when you’re in Manama, you should visit the souq. It’s located in the middle of the city centre, behind Government Avenue. Go there late afternoon or in the evening and you’ll have a wonderful evening.

National Museum (2 hrs)

It’s good to know some history of the island of Bahrain, and all about that you will find at the Bahrain National Museum. The museum shows a lot of archeology, traditions, costumes and history of the country. You can also see how the people used to live in the old days of Dilmun civilisation.

Besides all that the museum has an art gallery which shows contemporary art. It’s located at the corner of Shaikh Hamad Causeway and Al Fatih Highway. The entrance fee is 200 Fills.

The lost paradise of Dilmun (1 day)

Whether you are a thrill seeker, an active adventurer or just want to spend the day on a real sand beach, you can have it all at the Lost Paradise Of Dilmun. The Park claims to be the biggest in the Middle East and it has a lot to offer, like a sandy beach, a lazy river, Wave pool and many slides. There’s something to do for young and old.

The Park entry price is by length. Under 1,2 meter it’s 5 Bahrain Dinar and over 1.2 meter it will be 7 BD. Look at their website to see the actual opening hours. The park is about 40 minutes drive from Downtown Manama and it’s located next to Bahrain International Circuit.
