(Translated by Google) We were more than satisfied with everything during the 1 month we spent at this hotel in Diyarbakır due to my mother's treatment. The cleanliness, comfort and service quality were really top notch. But we would like to open a separate parenthesis especially to the hotel general manager Bahar Hanım. We felt at home thanks to her smiling face, interest and professionalism. Her meticulous follow-up of every detail, her quick solutions to problems and her respect for the guests are admirable. We have formed a bond with her and we still see each other. We recommend it to everyone with peace of mind. Thank you Bahar Hanım, thank you THE CİTY WALLS OTEL. (Original) Annemin tedavisi dolayısıyla Diyarbakır’daki bu otelde geçirdiğimiz 1 ay boyunca her şeyden fazlasıyla memnun kaldık. Temizlik, konfor ve hizmet kalitesi gerçekten üst düzeydi. Ama özellikle otel genel müdürü Bahar Hanım’a ayrı bir parantez açmak isteriz. Güler yüzü, ilgisi ve profesyonelliği sayesinde kendimizi evimizde gibi hissettik. Her detayı titizlikle takip etmesi, sorunlara hızlı çözüm bulması ve misafirlere olan saygısı takdire şayan.Kendisiyle gönül bağımız oluştu ve hala görüşürüz. Gönül rahatlığıyla herkese tavsiye ederiz. Teşekkürler Bahar Hanım, teşekkürler THE CİTY WALLS OTEL.

(Translated by Google) A high-quality, comfortable, and clean hotel. I was very pleased with the spaciousness and cleanliness of the room, and it had everything I could possibly need. Frankly, the open-buffet breakfast was even better than I expected. All the staff were very attentive and professional. I was very pleased with the service I received. I went to this hotel on the recommendation of a friend from Diyarbakır, and it will be a place I will always choose with confidence from now on. (Original) Yüksek kaliteli , konforlu bir o kadar da temiz bir otel . Odanın ferahlığı ve temizliği çok içime sindi ayrıca ihtiyacım olabilecek her şey vardı . Açık büfe kahvaltısı beklediğimden de iyiydi açıkçası . Çalışanların hepsi çok ilgililiydiler . işinin ehli insanlardı . Aldığım hizmetten çok memnun kaldım. Diyarbakırlı arkadaşımın tavsiyesiyle gittiğim bu otel bundan sonra da gönül rahatlığıyla tercih edeceğim bir yer olacak .

(Translated by Google) The rooms were magnificently large and spacious, the air conditioning was working efficiently, and the presence of equipment such as a large TV, washing machine, and iron was satisfactory. The breakfast was not sufficient at all, and it definitely needs to be increased in variety and quality. (Original) Odalar muhteşem derecede geniş ve ferahti odada klima verimli çalışıyordu büyük TV çamaşır makinesi ütü gibi ekipmanların bulunması memnun etti. Kahvaltı hiç ama hiç yeterli değildi kesinlikle çeşit olarak ve kalite olarak çok arttırılması gerekiyor.

(Translated by Google) Judging by the reviews, I stayed because the breakfast and rooms were good. I've stayed in many hotels in Diyarbakır for a long time. Yes, the rooms are nice and large, but the breakfast is practically non-existent. If you ask a shopkeeper in Diyarbakır for breakfast, they'll offer you a wider variety. I think the reviews are misleading about the breakfast. It's as if the hotel has been converted from a guesthouse to a hotel, but it still operates like one. When you ask for a printout of your invoice, they tell you the printer is broken. It may indeed be broken, but since you've been calling it a hotel for a day, I'm saying you need to take action. The price and performance don't match. (Original) Yorumlara bakarak kahvaltısı ve odaları iyi olduğu için kaldım. Uzun süredir Diyarbakır'da birçok Otelde kaldım.Evet odaları güzel büyük ama kahvaltı yok denecek kadar yok.Diyarbakır da bir esnafa kahvaltıya yanına geleceğim deseniz daha fazla çeşit sunar size. Yorumlar bence kahvaltı için yanıltıcı olmuş.Otel pansiyondan otele çevrilmiş gibi ama hala pansiyon gibi devam ediyor. Fatura için kağıt çıktı istediğinizde yazıcının bozuk olduğunu iletiyorlar. Gerçekten bozuk olabilir ama üstünden 1 gün geçmiş otel dediğiniz için söylüyorum aksiyon almanız gerekiyor fiyat ile performans birbirini tutmuyor.

(Translated by Google) We went on a really nice school trip We stayed in a 4 person room, it wasn't a room or anything, it was a surprise, I was lucky enough to open the door, I turned the key and screamed a little; It's not a room, it's a house, there are two bedrooms, a living room, an island, a kitchen and a bathroom, the rooms are big, so there's a wardrobe, a drawer, a fridge and an oven, nothing is missing I mean, there's even an iron and a scale, it's clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was great, thank you for your efforts (Original) Gercekten cok guzel okul gezisiyle gitmistik Biz 4 kisilik odada kaldik oda falan degilmis surpriz oldu kapiyi acmak bana nasip oldu anahtari cevirip ufak bi ciglik attim ; Oda degil ev seklinde iki yatak odasi salon ada mutfak banyo mevcut , odalar buyuk yani dolap cekmece buzdolabi firin hicbir seyi eksik degil Yani ütüyle tarti bile var temiz komforlu kahvalti da guzeldi elinize emeginize saglik

(Translated by Google) The rooms are very large and spacious, we were very pleased with the cleanliness, the staff is very friendly, the hotel manager Mehmet Bey took great care of us, I would also like to thank him. If I come to Diyarbakır again, this is one of the first places I will stay. (Original) Odalar çok geniş ve ferah temizliğinden gayet memnunduk çalışanlar çok güler yüzlü,otel müdürü Mehmet bey bizimle çok ilgilendi kendisine ayrıca teşekkür ederim.Diyarbakıra bir daha gelirsem kalacağım ilk yerlerden bir tanesi.

(Translated by Google) The location is magnificent, and the staff is respectful. I'd especially like to express my gratitude to the company manager, Mr. Mehmet, on behalf of myself and our company. If you come to Diyarbakır, this is the only place you'll find a family-friendly stay. (Original) Konum muazzam personeli saygılıdır. Özellikle kurum müdürü mehmet beye teşekkürlerimizi iletmek isterim şahsım ve firmamız adına. Diyarbakıra gelirseniz aile ortamı ile konaklaycağınız tek adres

You see an architectural texture that has turned from a church to a mosque. As a photographer, I took shots according to certain positions of the sun, it has a very pleasant architecture. I didn't go inside so I can't comment on it. It is a building that you will want to take photos of as you pass by.

Ulu Cami, Grand Mosque of Diyarbakır is the former St. Thomas Christian Church, one of the oldest churches in history. The mosque is considered by some to be the fifth holiest site in Islam. The Great Mosque of Diyarbakir is the oldest and one of the most significant mosques in Mesopotamia. Every corner has a different architectural design. The columns on the second floor have a different design. It is phenomenal.

I loved this Grand mosque. You will see diverse religious influences on the architecture of the mosque over time. Worth to visit.

beautiful mosque with a lot of history (used to be a church). We ran into a tour guide who explained what all the carvings on the walls mean. Look out for lion heads, carvings of rivers, vines... definitely worth visiting to see the beautifully carved stone columns

A very historical and interesting place, it keep attracting you to visit again and again. I've spent two times morning prayer here, in this mosque they practice Shafi'i school of thought. Will be back for more

The Grand Mosque, Ulu Camii of Diyarbakir. Believed to have dated back as far as to Prophet Musa AS. It was formerly a church and later got converted to a Mosque. It is the 5th Holiest Mosque in Islam, having close to 7 Prophets and some Sahabis of Prophet Muhammed SAW worshipped here. The mosque complex also hosted the first universite established in the subregion. This complex hosted 3 empires; Roman, Selcuks and the Ottomans. This is clearly evident by the inscriptions found on the walls. There is also the world's first sun clock in the compound built by the father of Algebra.

Beautiful mosque, as it was originally a church it has a very specific architecture. I especially loved the chorintian style pillars

Beautiful caravanserai within the diyarbakir bazaar area. Definitely stop for a tea or coffee and watch the world go by.

Traditional Turkish food cooked on the grill, very delicious.

Amazing traditional place, I did not have a chance to try the food here.

Hasanpaşa Inn. Inside, there are breakfast vendors and souvenir shops. It's a historic place, and the interior is crowded. And there are gold bars around it. It's a must-see.

An excellent place to have your breakfast, when you are in Diyarbakır. The atmosphere and design are historical, you will see these in this Bazar in general. The staff are helpful and respectively follow your requests. The serviced food are awesome, whatever in your mind is infront of your eyes. The only difficulty you will face is going upstairs, since the ladders are narrow and high, making climbing hard.

There are variety of cafes in this Inn. Have Turkish coffee in this historical Han and feel the vibe.

A historic site in Diyarbakir with a cube-like structure, believed to erected in a manner similar to the structure of the holy Kabba of Mecca and its surrounding buildings. This is a very popular area for tourists and their special but expensive breakfast menus are well patronised. There is a bookstore below this building which is exceptionally varied in collections. The coffees here too are great.

There's no public transport here so you must take a taxi or as I have done - you walk around 90 minutes. The monastery stands about 6km along a good but narrow road in the rocky hills east of Mardin. Try to visit on a weekday otherwise there are busloads of tourists as this place is magnificent and extremely popular. It was once the seat of the Syriac Orthodox patriarchate but this has now moved to Damascus. Services in Aramaic are still held here.

A special place with magic ambient and history but it’s worth to stay couple minutes longer, after the crowd of visitors departed, and explore the place in silence. Then the vibe is truly amazing.

Cool Syrian monastery. Can only access as part of a group tour in Turkish. Was built over an assyrian temple you can see the chamber where they used to venerate the sun through a slit in the wall. Worth the visit.

Deyrulzafaran Monastery Deyrulzafaran Monastery is a historical Syriac Orthodox monastery located in Mardin, Turkey. It was founded in the 5th century (around 493 AD) by Mor Şleymun and took its name from the saffron (zafaran) plant in its vicinity. The monastery was one of the important religious centers of the Syriac Church and served as the patriarchate (1160-1932). It existed during the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman periods and draws attention with its architectural arched structures, mosaics and stonework. It is still an active monastery today and maintains its importance in terms of religion and tourism.

1500 year old. Full of history and still in use for worshipping so quite unique place. There is 1500 year old pagan worship place. So amazing that they put about 20 stones each 1.5 tons on the roof without any adhesive. I was stocked that how they did it. They used 45 degrees 📐 angled stones. That was on 500 AD. Amazing.

Very beautiful monastery, surely worth a visit. Visits are all with a local guide (only in Turkish) but you can get the history of the place on Wikipedia. You can reach it by taxi only, about 400 TL (in July 2025 = less than 10 Euros).

Very peaceful place. Still an active monastery, so a student guides you during the tour which is really nice because you not only just see the place but also gain a lot of knowledge from it. Thank you 🙏

Exploring the village and cemetery around this archeological site gives full depth to the experience.

Perhaps it wasn't a good idea to visit during peak season and weekend. It's a hard time to walk around to absorb the feeling of the past whilst the crowd sort of making loud noises and can't focus to stay still at one spot. The parking spot was also difficult. However, it was a cool experience and kind a difficult to find toilet.

Great ancient city to visit, short ride from Mardin. The complex is divided into 4 different sites. Loved the two cisterns.

Definitely must see ancient town! Dara, an important East Roman fortress city dating back year of 530. Ancient city is huge and modern town of Dara is now situated on the ruins which are clearly seen. People continue living in ancient city, we can say. Grave area is well kept and welcomes you as a first stop. Necropol, dungeon, and a King Seat is a bit away, in village centre. Anyone visiting Mardin shouldn’t miss this forgettable experience.

Must see and read about. No more comment is needed.

I was amazed by this ruin city where mostly you can find caves carved in the stone. There is alsó a necropolis which is very unique. The site is on a huge area. It is highly recommended!

Visiting Dara when in Mardin should be mandatory. About 35 km to the east of Mardin you find not only ruins of this once strategically important place but also a church carved into a rock with a necropolis. See graves in the walls and through a glass floor myriads of bones in basement floor. Explanation: Dead bodies were buried in the carved bunks in walls. After a few month the meat was absorbed by the lime stone and bones were either given back to the family or thrown into the ground floor. Very hygienic and brainy. Not sure if people who still bury their dead relatives in a bag, awaiting the worms from inside, could become familiar with this idea. I'm bowing for them.

Well preserved monastery. They do group tours like Deyrulzafaran Monastery but this one felt more intimate with fewer people and our guide spoke solid English which helped appreciate and understand the history.

Absolutely stunning place and carries that sense of peace. I wish I'd known about this place earlier since it is one of the holiest sites of the world. Now some advice for solo travelers... It's true that there are no direct buses to this magnificent place. I took a minibus from Mardin to Midyat (100 TL) and then took the minibus from Midyat to Cizre. I asked the driver to drop me off at the turn for Mor Gabriel, so he charged me 45 TL. It took us 15 minutes to get to the turn. Then began my ordeal of walking 2.7 km in the scorching sun (40°C in Midyat that day). Do not forget to keep sun cream and something to cover your head and neck. I never asked for hitchhiking, so no one offered, but you can give it a shot. There were 8-10 cars that passed me. In my experience, there's a slim chance of Turkish tourists stopping. The locals are always ready to give you a ride. I reached Mor Gabriel within 35 minutes. I am a brisk walker (8 minutes per km), but this was tougher due to the temperature and two slightly upward slopes. Once I reached, there was a very clean toilet and then a guy selling drinks and ice cream at the entrance. The ticket was for 100 TL. We waited around 10 minutes for people to gather, and then the tour began. You can take pictures pretty much anywhere apart from the active Monastery locations. Very informative tour, but it's all in Turkish. The tour takes 30 to 40 minutes, and you get to know all about the Assyrian history. It is very highly recommended. On the way back, I began walking after buying enough water bottles. After 10 minutes, a car stopped, and the owner offered me a ride back to Midyat. He was from Izmir, and we had an amazing chat about the Assyrian history and how different societies coexisted.

I recommend you to go and look back on your life by looking at their language and culture that they still protect.

This is an impressive place with it's architecture & its history I suggest reading more about its history ahead of your visit Make sure you are there during it's operating hours There was not much of a wait but guided tour was a bit crowded and rushed and only in Turkish though they answered questions in English You have ample time to explore on your own and take pics If you are ever in the region, must visit site

The place is definitely worth visiting: we paid a small entrance fee and when we went there it wasn’t crowded at all, so we had the possibility to enjoy the quietness of the monastery. The place is very well kept, clean and peaceful. There’s free parking just outside the monastery.

Thanks to the Kaliru Turizm Agency (Şanlıurfa) my vacation turned out to be so wonderful. I was able to book this tour to Mardin at short notice and I have not regretted it for a second. The monastery has been excellently restored and is a place of tranquility and reflection.

This monastery is a gem. It wasn't overcrowded so we could enjoy the place and the quietness. Highly recommend stopping there when in Mardin and on the way to Midyat. Free parking at the entrance and small fee to get in.

It's a great place to spend some time, especially if you like to shop. The stores have a little bit of everything, from clothes to electronics. You can grab a bite to eat and relax, enjoying the atmosphere. It's a convenient spot for meeting friends and family.

One of the best shopping destinations. Downside mostly woman related items. It not that big and parking is not a good experience

Mansour Mall is the first “big mall” in Baghdad and one of the first major shopping centers in the city. I have lots of memories here as i used to come here regularly with my family. It still has the same charm i’m used to. It’s filled with all kinds of stores, restaurants, cafes, arcade games, mini amusement park, and one of the first branches of Iraqi Cinema. Mansour Mall will always have a special place in my heart.

i love this mall very much it has many good stores and good food not a small mall, has a lot of floors and arcades for kids. overall, i think this is a very good mall for weekend visits or to go on holiday. i have nothing bad to say about this mall

al mansour mall A large mall that contains good brands and is crowded most of the time. It is considered one of the best markets in the region. It contains a variety of restaurants. It also contains large halls for children to play and contains a multi-selection cinema. It has difficulty finding a place to park cars, especially during times of rush and holidays

One of the best malls in Baghdad. There are a lot of good changes that happened to the mall. There are new brands that have opened in the mall, so I really recommend visiting it.

Nice choice for shoping alot of options affordable prices.. And cinema & kids area W nice cafés Totally good place for family and friends

This is one of the best Holy Shrines in Iraq. Recently a huge extension was added which can easily accommodate another thousand visitors both men and women. The new chandlers fixed in the new extension are very unique and one of its kind. For cleaning them, the authority there have fixed a special system by dragging the ropes by at least three persons and slowly it’s brought it with great care. The cleaning system is very efficient and also the people who handle them. The outside prayer hall is huge and it can accommodate at least four to five hundred prayers. Since it’s an open space, many prayers prefer to pray inside because the area is fully airconditioned. Also it’s near to the main shopping areas. In fact some of the shops are almost attached to the outside wall where in couple of places there’s is a door where people can go in and out from these doors but they have to go through a tough security point‼️‼️ As Imam Ali (peace be upon him) is the first Imam of twelve Shia Imams, the Holy Shrines is always full of prayers from inside and outside of Iraq especially on various religious occasions 🌹🌺 Entry is FREE and entry time depends on the day and time of the year but it’s not difficult as there about six main doors from where you can enter easily. However once you are near the Tomb, it will take sometime to reach the Holy Shrine because of huge number of visitors and narrow lanes leading to the Shrine but it’s worth because once you are there you sense a feeling of peace and comfort 💕

What a refreshing, breath-taking and peaceful place to be at! You can only wonder how this place is so unique.

I love this place more than other places in there whatever I say can't say my enthusiasm... There is a famous world it said if Imam Ali is not your religion brother, he is definitely your human brother. I love the vibe of this place and I suggest to each person without their beliefs, gender and other things to visit this beloved place

Beautiful open to all. Emotional charging.Najaf Shrine of Imam Ali and Were The Prophet Adam a.s resting next to Imam Ali the great.

This s my first visit to the Grand Mosque of Kuwait. From outside, this mosque look descent and humble. But when I entered the mosque, it is marvelous, beautiful interior, fantastic dome, beautiful carpet, bluish and golden color make the interior so amazing. It is filled with Islamic calligraphy, all over the wall and the dome. In its exhibition hall, it has some calligraphy too from other countries such as China. You need to wear your cloth properly, and for ladies, you need to wear cloth that cover your body from top to toe (hijab, headscarf). Very beautiful.

This was the first attraction I visited in Kuwait City, and it did not disappoint! The building is absolutely glorious, the main hall is breathtaking in both size and beauty. The architecture is stunning and truly worth seeing. Entrance is free, and there are tours available in English, which makes the experience even more engaging. A must-see landmark in Kuwait City!.

The Grand Mosque is a breathtaking landmark that beautifully showcases Islamic architecture and Kuwaiti culture. The intricate interiors, grand dome, and peaceful atmosphere make it a must-visit in Kuwait City.

The Grand Mosque is absolutely breathtaking. 😍 It's so quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Ladies are not allowed to go to the men section and vice versa. Do cover up dressing modestly, ladies need to wear Hijab (head scarf), no exposed body parts, arms and legs, need to be fully covered, no lace or transparent clothing. Men need to cover up as well wearing plain clothing like t-shirt and bottoms. No inappropriate writing and any pictures on the clothes. It's Free to visit and they have certain timings, best to go early in the morning around 9am.

Free guided tour provided as long as you follow the allocated time for guided tours. Some confusing information found online on the opening times for visiting this mosque. Do not come on Friday and Sunday. Though external of the mosque compound doesn't look as mesmerizing as other mosque in GCC, the internal decoration of the mosque has its own unique beauty. What I feel the best is the warm welcome of the guide and the free drinks (juice, tea, coffee, hot chocolate) and snacks provided in the reception area. This you won't get at any other bigger mosque in this region.

A beautiful and majestic mosque in Kuwait City. Tour guides are friendly and we enjoyed a pleasant and informative tour!

The Visitor timings are from Sunday to Thursday Early morning to 6.30 as mentioned at the premises through visitor gate 7. There was ample parking space and we were guided by the security staff precisely. Refreshments and the traditional wear for women were available at the reception area and the tour was a guided one.

Very strange market. One benefit and a drawback is that most of the traders are arranged in sections. All exchange offices are on one street, so you can compare the rates quickly. But on the other hand, it is difficult to find an exchange elsewhere. Goods are all the same in many shops: perfumes, rolls of fabrics. Barely anything for the tourists. Heritage street with mostly closed shops. All the sellers are sitting in the shops talking to somebody on the phones. Nobody's interested in the customers. Most of the shops are very small. How did you survive the covid?

If you want to visit the old market and bazar of kuwait 🇰🇼 that is revamped and renovated with modern looks, then you must visit Al Mubarakiya. Everything there is well managed and cleaned. Old houses and structures, that was once the homes of people, now turned into shops. The market structure and shops make me feel like the old architectural design from a story from Alladin. Street with warm lighting ambience in style of old lantern, structure, small ventilation windows, old retro door of houses with chain buckles, still used to lock doors of shop, Adobe looks of houses now transformed into shops, made you time travel into time. All the shops are well organised and you can find a lot of clothing, restaurants, tea shops, sweet shops, perfume shop there. I simply love visiting this area. As many people were there, I was not comfortable taking pictures of the vicinity but somehow managed to get a few shots. Barbecue of the one of the restaurant 😋 is delicious with a good serving size but expensive.

A nice, clean souq. You'll find a lot of things there. If anyone is looking for souvenirs, good luck! There is only one shop there. 👀😆 All the best 👍🏻😉

Very good place to visit and shopping, vertices of shopping and restaurants available in evening bussy walking street , visit late or in morning not too bussy

Nice place for shopping and eatery Very clean and neat market

Winter in 2024 and the temperature was 3°, i only reached there coz take some photos and midnight around 1/2 AM. And i get this photos....

The OG place for authentic kebabs and majbous! Great shopping for local herbs, spices, fish and perfumes. Love the vibe!

So pretty! But after going inside, there’s not much to do asides from a restaurant and the gift shop only had a couple items. Overall a good place to stop by if you haven’t been here before. Not worth going a second time though

I think it’s a nice park and the towers are quite striking from the outside. The day I went it was foggy, so I just walked around but didn’t go up. It was worth the taxi ride to visit and I would recommend it just to get outside and walk around in November.

Tickets easily available but to purchase online. Atmosphere is wonderful, and best view from the inside. This Kuwait towers must be visited in the Night for perfect and wonderfull view.

Amazing view of the whole city. The viewing doom has a snacks bar & drinks. it has two levels, non-rotating which is wheel chair friendly and the upper level ''stairs access only'' is the rotating one. An entrance fee is required ''at this time of writing the review, is 3 K.D. per adult, Elders on Wheel chairs are FREE of charge''. The middle sphyre has two resturants that serves Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. But a reservation must be made!! A really nice place to visit! Unfortunatly, before it has a gallary about the Iraqi invasion distruction. but they remove it after renovation. its a really peace of history and should be kept in there!

Standing proudly on the Arabian Gulf, the Kuwait Towers are more than a landmark —l they’re a symbol of resilience, beauty, and the spirit of Kuwait. Whether you visit for the breathtaking 360° views, the peaceful sea breeze, or just to feel the heartbeat of Kuwait’s skyline, the Towers never disappoint. A reminder that some icons don’t just stand tall they inspire

Architecturally amazing and a world famous signature structure for Kuwait......calm and quiet place... there is a beach nearby, families and friends will love this place

Great views! You scan the QR code at the front entrance way, pay, walk in, show your QR code that you paid for the view at the elevator inside the bottom of the tower building.

In my opinion the best mall in Kuwait. Love to go every time. It is so vast that it would take days to explore. Every time I explore new things. Today visited the Food World. It’s simply amazing. I will need some more visit to complete all corners of this great mall. Love to go every time and recommend for my friends and family.

The Avenues is one of the most impressive malls I’ve ever visited! It’s huge, beautifully designed, and offers a mix of luxury brands, high-street shops, and great dining options. The layout is easy to navigate, and each section has its own unique style. Whether you’re shopping, dining, or just walking around, it’s a fantastic experience. Perfect for families, tourists, and shopaholics alike!

I visited this mall on August 25, 2025. It is the biggest mall in Kuwait and you will need half a day to explore everything. In terms of prices, all the items to buy are branded, so it is hmmmmmmm. It is a great place to explore and spend your free time. It is mostly crowded at night time but at the same time night time is the best for the best view. There are a lot of restaurants and coffee shops everywhere, so don't worry about food and snacks. It is also a paradise for children. There is a lot of entertainment for them, while parents should be careful because if you sleep, your credit card and wallet will be empty 🤣🤣🤣 Washrooms are available. Prayer room also available.

The Avenues Mall in Kuwait is hands down one of the most incredible shopping destinations I’ve ever visited—truly in a league of its own. The scale, design, and atmosphere are absolutely breathtaking. It’s not just a mall—it’s an entire world of luxury, entertainment, and culture under one roof. From the moment you walk in, you can feel how thoughtfully everything is laid out. The architecture is stunning, blending modern style with unique themed sections like Prestige, Grand Avenue, and The Souk—each offering its own vibe and personality. Whether you’re here for high-end brands, everyday shopping, or just to explore, there’s something for everyone. The cleanliness and organization are flawless. The staff across the stores and food courts are always welcoming and professional, and the variety of restaurants and cafés is unmatched—you can find everything from international fine dining to casual bites. What truly makes The Avenues special is how it feels like more than just a mall. It’s an experience. Families, tourists, and locals all come together here, and no matter how many times you visit, it never loses its charm.

I’ve visited many countries and malls, but The Avenues truly stands out as one of the best. From the easy access to the mall to the wide variety of brands, it offers a complete, well-rounded experience. It really felt like an all in one package; shopping, dining, and entertainment all in one place. Highly recommended!

I have been to this mall many times and it is a great mall it has everything you could possibly need. You can shop for clothes, cosmetics, etc. The mall has lots of restaurants. There is a movie theater and tons of benches to sit down. It's although huge but it's a very nice mall

The Avenues is the best mall in Kuwait—huge, clean, and has everything from luxury brands to everyday shopping!! I recommend visiting The Souk for a traditional vibe, Grand Avenue for international stores, and the Forum for cafés. One of my favorites is %Arabica for great coffee and a nice spot to relax. Parking is spacious and organized, making it easy to spend the whole day here with family or friends.

We had booked a deluxe partial sea view room. Rooms were of good size and even the toilets. Price also felt not that high compared to other beach hotels. But their restaurants and cafe were too expensive. Housekeeping was excellent. There was a warm water pool so we could use it even during this season. Breakfast was included, menu was good and had good varieties.

The valet service was bad, had to attend a wedding and they paid for the valet but I was told it was full and had to wait for almost 2 hours. If you have a wedding/event I advise to go at lease 1 - 2 hours early. Otherwise the hotel is nice

I had an excellent experience during my stay at the hotel. The property is ideally located, offering great convenience and accessibility. The cleanliness of the premises was exceptional, reflecting meticulous attention to detail. In addition, the service was exceptionally professional, complemented by a warm and friendly approach

Beautiful place to stay , the rooms are clean , I booked the sea view chalet and suite both have sea view. The chalet has direct access to the beach and large out door seating area. There were no hot water in the bathroom which shocked me when I was taking a shower in the morning!! No slippers ! Or bathrobe! No cups for coffee or tea !! There were no coffee machine even it was mentioned in the booking criteria.

It was ok. Service was good. Except for the reception last that helped us didn't speak good English.

Absolutely the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. From the moment I arrived, it was a disaster. The rooms were filthy, with dust, stains, and an overall feeling of neglect. The service was beyond terrible—staff were unhelpful, rude, and completely disorganized. The so-called ‘view’ was a joke, nothing like what was advertised. The buffet was disappointing, with cold, stale food. The outdoor seating area was poorly maintained, dirty, and unwelcoming. The tea and coffee station was a disaster—no coffee machine, barely any options, and cheap, low-quality coffee . The fridge in the room was EMPTY and dirty —no drinks, no snacks, nothing. The worst part? Hygiene was non-existent. Used toothbrushes left in the bathroom, and dirty beds a general lack of cleanliness throughout the hotel. They make big promises, but the moment you ask for something, the staff disappears. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone. It’s a complete waste of money and a huge disappointment. Save yourself the frustration and book somewhere else!

Nice hotel with super location and friendly staff High quality service and nice food at Alkout restaurant Access to a clean beach or pool at roof

had such a wonderful time at this park and beach! The area is very well maintained, clean, and welcoming. The park has plenty of space to relax, walk around, or enjoy a picnic with family and friends. I especially loved how peaceful it felt, with lots of greenery and shaded spots to sit and unwind. The beach is beautiful, with soft sand and clear water that makes it perfect for swimming or just strolling along the shore. It’s a great spot to catch the sunset, and the atmosphere is very family-friendly. Everything feels safe and organized, making it an ideal place for both relaxation and fun. Overall, it’s a perfect combination of nature and relaxation—I would definitely recommend visiting if you’re looking for a calm and refreshing escape.

You can enjoy there. You can cook there. There is no one to disturb you . Beautiful place to visit . Different flowers along with sea view . You can see many seaguls there . You can take families there it is safe place. Huge parking areas are there.i saw many people siting on there own chairs.. you can see many ships there .

It is a lovely place and perfect place where you feel refreshed and relaxed.. You can enjoy the moments with your friends, and family. The best place with the Beautiful landscapes and views. You can witness the sunrise and sunset..

One of the amazing places I visited in Saudi Arabia reminded me of the Nile corniche or a beach, especially with its magnificent sunset views. However, despite its resemblance to the Nile, its salty taste brought me back to reality, reminding me that this was not the Nile. We still had a wonderful time doing a barbecue (اقاشي) with friends and family.

Very good place to relax or do bbq.

Some areas are rocky and painful to walk on. We wore sandals inside the water too. Beach is good and enjoyed the time over there. Wish more showers were available. Need to walk quite a bit to the washrooms as well.

Definitely the best place to visit in Jubail of you love nature. Beautiful palm trees with grand lawn ! Flowers are everywhere. Unique reflexology walk available. I enjoyed walking there with bare feet! Wonderful picnic place! Boats are everywhere! Parking place is big enough.

I recently visited Marjan Island in Dammam during the evening, and unfortunately, the current condition of the spot is quite disappointing. The area seemed neglected, with a noticeable lack of cleanliness—trash was scattered around, and the usual vibrant atmosphere was missing. Unlike before, there wasn’t much foot traffic, giving the place a deserted feel. It seemed like the island might be partially closed or undergoing some sort of renovation, although no official signs confirmed this. Facilities that were once a highlight, like the monument tower and rest areas, appeared poorly maintained. If anyone is planning to visit Marjan Island soon, I’d suggest reconsidering or at least going during the day and being prepared for limited amenities. It’s best to bring your own food, water, and essentials, as the on-site options are minimal. While the location still offers a nice sea breeze and scenic views, the current state doesn’t reflect the vibrant destination it once was.

Marjan Island is a great spot if you're looking to chill out and relax. It's super peaceful, and some areas might seem a bit empty, but that actually makes it kind of special. The quietness and natural beauty make it perfect for just getting away from everything and enjoying some downtime. Whether you're taking a walk by the water or just soaking up the calm vibes, it's a cool place to escape the usual hustle.

“Marjan Island, Dammam – A Nostalgic Visit with Future Excitement” During our visit to Marjan Island, Dammam, after more than 28 years, we were delighted to relive the cherished memories we made here between 1990 and 2000. This island has always been a special place for us, where our kids enjoyed countless visits, and we once celebrated Pakistan Day with our close family, making it an unforgettable memory. While the island still holds its natural charm, we noticed that some planning and development work is underway, promising to bring more attractions for visitors in the future. As of now, the island remains a simple yet lively picnic spot, where most visitors were enjoying their time by the roadside, fishing, or relaxing with family. The main food options were from food stalls, which added to the casual, outdoor experience. One striking sight was the long stretch of cars parked beside the sea, showing how popular this place remains among locals and visitors alike. It was refreshing to see people gathering, enjoying the cool breeze, and making the most of the island’s peaceful atmosphere. We look forward to seeing how the planned developments will enhance the experience while keeping the island’s serene and nostalgic essence intact.

Visited at the start of the weekend—an ideal way to unwind outdoors while enjoying the serene views of the water. Afternoons and evenings are the perfect times to go for the most relaxing experience.

Marjan island 🏝️ is beautiful place with boats and yacht ⛵ to explore the island. It is recommended to visit with your friends and family.

Not to my expectation but to get away from busy city ..its okay to be here. I came late so i miss the sunset view..next time i might come back here to catch the view.

We Visited the Beach at time time and what I imagine and expect did not find the same To Dark on bech side no proper lights available The fishing 🎣 area also little dangerous because its to dark at night The monument tower also to dirty no light available Overall its waste of time ⏲️ and bad experience

The only good thing about this hotel is that it has a private beach. Food choices for breakfast is limited. Called the staff to clean our room but nobody came and when we insisted on having our room tidied up, the hotel staffs declined and said that they have other rooms to clean first (no guests). Dirty pool especially the kiddie pool. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place. Only come here if you’re on a tight budget and wanted to have a private beach.

The place is very good and the beach is also inviting you to swim. A good plce to hold a big event for company gatherings or recollections. A lot of fun activity and sports you can do here because of theur wide amenities. The only thing i do not like or disappointed is their toilet/ washroom. They should change/replace or renovate their public toilet mostly the toilet bowl and sink. It is very important to attract more guests and custumers.

I went on a Eid vacation, and the hotel was mediocre at best. Pros: Room size is good Location is perfect Cons: Awful food Terrible service NO cleanness Hotel has signs of age Shower takes time to be hot There was no cleanness in the hotel. There were no toothbrushes, tissues, or toothpaste and the towels were old and dirty. The "room cleaning" button on the hotel telephone does not work .The cleaner only came ONE time in my 4 day vacation, and if you try to get him to come clean your room he takes a long time to come. The food was awful for both breakfast and lunch. There was not a lot of food, and the food feels old and cold. In addition, the hotel is pretty greedy, so if you want to get a bottle of water or get a bottle of Pepsi, you'll need to pay up. The water is overpriced and small (costs 4 riyals!). The service is very bad. The hotel tries to minimize the amount of workers to reduce the prices of rooms, and that has diminishing returns. In the swimming pool area, there are no table cleaners and overall service is very bad. The hotel has signs of age, and that becomes evident when you go to the underground pool bathroom, as the roof is literally peeling off. These signs of age are all over the hotel, including in the bottom of doors, and in the rooms. Lastly, the shower takes a long time to get hot even if you set the water temperature at the highest. For the price, I expected more. The location is excellent, but the poor cleanliness, bad food, and lack of service make this hotel hard to recommend.

It was a terrible experience. I have never stayed in a hotel as bad as this. I would highly recommend not to stay in this hotel. Here’s why : The rooms were small and dingy. They were not cleaned properly as we saw trash in the room. The toilet was disgusting and unclean. They did not clean the room properly. There was not much to do. Extremely Boring. Quite safe. There was not much you could walk around. It was plain and nothing to eat. Especially breakfast the food was dead and completely disgusting. The room service was really bad. We asked them for a mattress they couldn’t give, they only gave a blanket with bugs in it. Whenever we ask they always bring at least 2 hours after. For people who’ve statues and Enjoyed before, rethink. This resort used to be holiday inn. Holiday in was superb. That’s why we came. They’ve changed their ways as there is a new owner. Mena hotel was previously holiday inn. But their ways have changed badly. They also scammed, lied, and cheated us. They promised us 3 beds that we never got. They charged us for 3 bedrooms but only gave us 2 bedrooms. They promised us mattresses but we never got that as well. They got us 3 useless blankets that we could not use without mattresses. Even one of them had bugs. A little message to the manager of Mena Resort : I you are reading this, we had a horrible stay. You offered us 3 beds and charged us for 3 beds but you only gave us 2. You promised us 3 mattresses but you only gave us 3 blankets with one having bugs. I’m sorry to say but we have not enjoyed this and certainly won’t come back. We feel we did not have a stay up to our expectations and if you made a mistake it would be shameful not to make compensate. You guys made a mistake and instead of trying to compensate you guys made it worse. Overall, staying in this hotel is not a good idea.

Very good place only down side is that the buffet is extra and you have to buy breakfast / lunch / dinner separately but the pool was ok it was not heated tho but it was medium sized and beach was ok the sand is not that good but you get a beutiful sunset

It is the worst resort ever - I don’t recommend anyone to stay here rooms are too old - not clean full of insects the moment you open the balcony door - villa beside are not renovated and full of damage furniture on in the front where it is supposed to sit and enjoy the sea view- they describe the unit as a villa of two bedrooms and in fact it is a studio type unit - too small and smelling bad

No towels no tissues no spoons no forks no plates no water. and they were fixing the washroom after we checked inn Very bad

One of the best Malls in the Eastern region boasting of reputed brands like Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels etc. Part of the Mall is open to public and is definitely worth a visit. Big Thumbs up to the developer for elevating the shopping experience in the region 👍🏻

A Great Shopping Experience with a Minor Inconvenience Al Rashid Mall continues to be one of the top shopping destinations in the Eastern region of Saudi Arabia, offering a fantastic mix of local and international brands, spacious interiors, and a vibrant atmosphere for families and individuals alike. Whether you’re shopping, dining, or just strolling around, the mall has something for everyone — from high-end fashion to cozy cafes and fun entertainment options. One small inconvenience at the moment is the ongoing refurbishment work in some areas. A few sections are temporarily closed off, which slightly disrupts the usual flow and causes minor detours etc. Overall, Al Rashid Mall remains a great place to spend time & shop around.

Al-Rashid Mega Mall in Madinah is a massive shopping and entertainment destination with a vast selection of international and local brands, a large food court, a cinema, and a children's play area. Reviewers praise its cleanliness, spaciousness, and extensive offerings, but some note high prices and a confusing layout. It is recommended for its wide range of shopping needs, from clothing to groceries at the attached Carrefour, and for general family-friendly activities.

this mall is under construction for months now. they still operate while ignoring safety protocols. hello civil defense…. open ceiling, and check the new escalator in the video. the railing height is not on standard. forgot to check the brand. right now til they don’t finish the renovation/reconstruction. i don’t recommend this mall.

It's a very grand mall. Has many sections and outlets. Major attractions are carrefour, jareer, empire cinema, etc. It's under construction but still most stores are operational.

Currently under construction, still is one of the most amazing mall in terms of planning and brand addition.

Al Rashid Mall in Al Khobar is one of the most iconic shopping destinations in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. The mall is massive, beautifully designed, and offers a complete mix of everything under one roof – from international fashion brands to local shops, a wide variety of restaurants, coffee shops, and family entertainment zones. It is not just a place to shop, but also a lifestyle hub where you can spend an entire day without running out of things to do. The architecture combines modern style with cultural touches, and the indoor environment is always well maintained, clean, and comfortable for families. Parking is huge and easily accessible, though the mall can get very crowded during weekends and evenings, so visiting during weekdays is more relaxed. The recent renovations have made the mall even more attractive, adding signature areas such as Al Rashid Fashion Avenue, Al Rashid Walk, Palm Court, and The Dome, which bring in new experiences and luxury vibes. It has a cinema, kids’ play areas, and spaces where the whole family can enjoy themselves. The traditional section inspired by Saudi heritage is also a nice touch, making it feel more than just a mall. Overall, Al Rashid Mall is not only a shopping center but also a landmark of Al Khobar where locals and tourists alike gather. Whether you are looking for fashion, dining, leisure, or simply a place to relax with family and friends, this mall delivers on every level.

Also called Judas Cave. It is worth a visit. There will be an offer for a tourguide-45minutes tour (need to pay a hundred tho), and they will let you borrow a flashlight each person. There will be fee for Entrance (fifty SAR)+ vat(7.5sar) per person (I wasn’t able to ask if there’s any difference of payment for kids). You are free to take photos.. there will be photographers around if you want better photos or printed copies. They also have Souvenir shops… If you are worried about food and drinks, there are cafes and restaurants you can go. Parking is not a problem, they got a big place for that. So far, it is far😂 but worth it.. a place away from work and worries.. a little break you deserve.. 🥰

Outside the caves it can get harsh (sun, heat) so visiting at cooler times of day is wise.Once inside, you’ll immediately notice the temperature drop — it can be 10–15 °C cooler than outside, making it a natural escape from the desert heat. The walk includes some open sections.Allow around 1–2 hours for the full visit.Entry fee: Around SAR 50–57 per adult.However, the light is ambient, not bright it’s designed to highlight the cave walls and atmosphere,

Al Qarah Mountain is a very beautiful place to visit. Inside, it’s naturally cool and refreshing, making it a perfect spot for relaxation. It’s also an amazing place to go on a trip with your barkada (friends) and enjoy a memorable gala toget

Historical, Ancient old public place. Worth to visit. Very near to town, easy access, parking lot, food 🥝 but little expensive even entry ticket little higher. But area planed in nice Way. View for pics and Land Mark ‼️.

Remarkable place. Amazing formations and caves that are easy to explore. Seems to have its own climate too. Exceptionally cool in this midst of a blistering Al Ahsa summer. Eager to experience it in the winter.

Nice historical place it offers a wonderful experience I recommend in the summer go during the sunset or I prefer visiting in the winter they offer to get your picture taker with a photographer

Al Qarah Mountain, also called Jabal Al Qarah, is a natural and cultural landmark in Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ahsa area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We had little difficulty in locating the entrance of this heritage site after reaching Al Ahsa. Though only about 75 meters high, it is famous for its dramatic cliffs and cool caves formed by centuries of wind and water erosion. The mountain is composed primarily of sedimentary rocks such as limestone, sandstone, and clay, which over centuries have been shaped by wind and water erosion into dramatic cliffs, narrow passageways, and natural caves. They remain cool in the intense desert summer and relatively warm in winter, making them a natural air-conditioned shelter. Today, this place is a popular tourist attraction, with pathways and a cultural center that showcase its geology and history. Al Qarah remains a symbol of Al-Ahsa’s heritage, blending natural beauty with timeless traditions.

Souq Al Bahrain is a wonderful place to experience the local culture and enjoy modern facilities at the same time. It is one of the best spots for tourists who want to explore traditional markets as well as enjoy convenient services. The souq is well-organized and clean, making it easy for visitors to walk around and shop peacefully. You can find a variety of shops here selling clothes, perfumes, souvenirs, electronics, and much more. For those who love food, there are plenty of restaurants and cafes offering local and international dishes. The place is also very tourist-friendly — banks, money exchanges, and taxi services are easily available inside and around the souq. Whether you're shopping, dining, or just exploring, Souq Al Bahrain offers a comfortable and enjoyable experience for everyone. It's a must-visit spot for anyone coming to Bahrain.

The nice place to know the one of culture in Bahrain. That is a traditional and authentic atmosphere .I enjoy it there to see and explore it.

Beautiful Beautiful and Beautiful This is what best describes this place. Heritage preserved, spices preserved and beautiful artisanal pearls and gold souq shops well preserved. This place is well connected with several old food eateries however Parking inside is only a remote possibility. Always check for opposite ground for paid parking but do not park under a tree shed as notorious pigeons target only your car (I feel).

Nice place to walk around and buy gifts and see the traditional close and crafts

One of the must visit historical spots in Bahrain if you are a tourist. Public holidays and weekends can get quite busy.

As I'm much more into food markets, I didn't buy anything at this place. It specializes more into gold, hanging glass lamps, souvenirs and material things. I still liked the decorations hanging from the ceiling and the artistic shops worth of some pictures. The street is not that long and if you don't make stops, you will walk through it in few minutes.

I love the place it gives you an olden tradition style as well as it gives you very best looks on antiques and jewelry, carpets , Cafe, fragrance oil , oud , also the place stay surrounded very big market which sell all items each shops have its own type of business, wholesale and retails business going on over there as well

Nice enough museum but lots of work going on so it will greet bigger and better I am sure. I was trying to find the aerial pictures of Bahrain over the ages that I’d seen before but couldn’t find them ☹️ maybe next time!

Bahrain National Museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the country’s rich history and culture. Its well-organized exhibits showcase archaeological finds, traditional artifacts, and contemporary art, providing an insightful experience for visitors. The museum is spacious, informative, and ideal for anyone interested in Bahrain’s heritage.

The Bahrain National Museum is beautifully curated and offers a rich look into the country’s culture, heritage and history. The exhibits are informative without feeling overwhelming, and the architecture itself is stunning. It’s well-organized, peaceful, and a must-visit for anyone wanting to truly understand Bahrain’s past and traditions.

The Bahrain National Museum is a masterpiece of storytelling and design. Set along the waterfront, its calm, light-filled architecture perfectly complements the depth of the history it holds. Walking through the galleries feels like tracing Bahrain’s soul from the ancient Dilmun civilization to Islamic artistry and modern heritage. Every exhibit is beautifully curated, detailed without being overwhelming, and presented with care. What stood out most was how seamlessly the past and present are woven together you don’t just see history, you feel its continuity. A visit here leaves you with quiet awe and a newfound respect for this island’s enduring spirit.

Though small, the museum is clean and well-organized. Entry costs 1.1 BHD, and you’ll need around 30 minutes to go through the exhibits. A good short visit for anyone interested in local history.

Well laid out informative museum, good boat trip over to Pearling Walk from outside museum. Gives you a real education into history and customs of Bahrain. Theatre and Art Gallery adjacent. Need an Uber or taxi to get there as quite isolated from public transport. Only 1BD to enter.

If you want to learn about history and culture of Bahrain you should definitely check out this museum. It’s big and spacious with many interesting items to see and learn from.

Very beautiful masjid. Large space and very detailed architectural design. Very good maintenance. You have to be patient with the people Due to more crowds on Friday prayer, because take out your car from parking will take time.

Beautiful grand mosque, for up to 7,000 people. The entrance is free and they provide you appropriate Arabic clothes if you are not dressed according to their standards. There is a quick free tour as well. Definitely worth a visit while in Bahrain.

Al-Fateh Grand Masjid is truly breathtaking. Its architecture is magnificent, the atmosphere serene, and the spacious prayer hall radiates warmth and tranquillity. The staff and guides are welcoming and knowledgeable, making the visit both spiritually uplifting. A must-visit for anyone coming to Manama. Friday khutbah is translated from Arabic to English

An absolute must when visiting Bahrain. Dress appropriately. We were given robes & scarves & enjoyed a free private tour by a volunteer. He was so informative & the interior is stunning. We were able to discreetly watch the call to midday prayers & the followers.

A very large mosque. During prayer times, there are many worshippers. The car park next to the mosque is very large, but on Friday it was completely full of cars. As you can see, worshippers hold this place in very high regard. If you want to see what it looks like inside, you will have to choose another day.

An impressing mosque and great place to go. I had an official guide employed by the bahraini government who explained a lot of details. Although I have been to other mosques I got to know more about the religion and culture. Make sure that you are there with an official guide.

When we visited the Mosque, we were able to join a small English speaking group for a short tour. The guide gave a brief introduction to Islam as well as pointing out the salient features of the inside of the building. We were able to witness the call to prayer being delivered during our visit. Appropriate clothing is provided if one is inappropriately dressed.

It was extremely hot here, but there are some places where you can refresh yourself. If you want to cool down yourself, they have this sprinkling water or you can just stay at the entry area where they scan the ticket code. It was air conditioned although it was on an open area. And they also have open water refilling station. Just bring your own water bottle. Do not bring any plastic bottle because they won't allow it inside. And on this picture, we were sitting at Block J.

the WEC weekend was filled with fun, emotions, and adrenaline. the access you get here in WEC bahrain is just top notch. The fanzone was well planned and organized. the stunt shows were epic the simulators were as close you could get to driving a lmgt3.One flaw is that the main granstand seats were a little dusty but acceptable. Paddock access made it the best weekends i have ever had.

The Bahrain International Circuit has become an essential date on my Formula 1 calendar. This world-class venue hosts not only F1 races but also thrilling competitions for Porsche Cup, Formula 2, and Formula 3. What truly stands out is the festive atmosphere during F1 race weekends. The circuit transforms into an exciting entertainment hub with activities for adults, teenagers, and children of all ages. The concerts that are part of the F1 experience add another dimension to the event, creating unforgettable memories for attendees. Throughout the year, the circuit maintains a diverse calendar of motorsport events and activities. I recommend checking their official website for the annual program to plan your visit accordingly. If you're traveling through Bahrain, the circuit's visitor shop is worth a stop. You can purchase souvenirs or official merchandise from your favorite racing team to commemorate your experience. The facilities are impressive, with excellent viewing positions around the track allowing spectators to witness the high-speed action up close. Racing experts frequently praise the circuit's layout for producing exciting overtaking opportunities, particularly into Turn 1 after the main straight. So if you find yourself in Bahrain or are planning a trip to the Middle East, make sure to swing by the Bahrain International Circuit. Whether it's race day or not, there's always something interesting happening at this premier motorsport destination.

circuit was very entertaining and events hosted there were suitable for People of all ages, I highly reccomend it for families to visit, or those interested in motorsports and racing.

For me personally.wvery time i go there i feels like im living my best life. Its such an amazing place For a free motor enthusiast to have a very good time of their life really wish I would have a full-time job there so that I can enjoy Enter every minute n BI c it's such a amazing place and I would recommend everybody Everybody to check out their activities and experience every single one of them.

I had excellent experience of visiting this place and was able to see car racing and monster truck show. It was priced 5.0 BD per person and really enjoyed some quality time.

Love the energy here. Its very lively being the WEC and i can imagine how much more it would be during F1.

The experience was amazing. Kids enjoyed a-lot. The slides are all really amazing. We will visit again definitely , mohammed mohsen he eas so good he give us all updates about water park

A fantastic place for families and friends! The Lost Paradise of Dilmun is not just a water park, it feels like a full-day getaway. The park is very well designed with beautiful themes inspired by Bahrain’s history, giving it a unique atmosphere compared to other water parks. There are rides and pools for all ages from thrilling slides for adventure seekers to calm wave pools and lazy rivers for relaxation. Kids have their own safe play areas, while adults can enjoy exciting attractions. Everything is clean, well maintained, and the lifeguards are attentive, which makes the experience safe and stress-free. Food options are good with a variety of choices, and prices are reasonable for the experience you get. Parking is convenient, and entry is smooth even on weekends. Overall, it’s one of the best attractions in Bahrain highly recommended for a fun day with family or friends!

Had an amazing time. Definitely one of the best attractions in Bahrain. The rides were thrilling the atmosphere was energetic, and everything was well managed. You can easily spend a full day here with family or friends. The DJ & the music kept the vibes alive throughout the day. However, the only downside was the food. We tried the pizza and broast, and unfortunately, both were below expectations. The pizza especially was quite disappointing. Food quality needs serious improvement; surprising that no one was raising concerns about it. Overall, still a must visit place at least once. Just hope they improve the food experience to match the rest of the park.

Lost Paradise is always the best place during summer!! They have fun and amazing water rides and perfect to enjoy an adventurous day with family. Me and my family had the best time as always. We also had great food that was delicious and juicy. They even have a cute kids meal that my little brother enjoyed!!

This place is absolutely incredible! You’ll definitely enjoy the amazing water park and all the fun attractions. One of the best staff members, Mushtaq, was exceptionally helpful, friendly, and polite, he truly made our experience even better. I highly recommend visiting The Lost Paradise of Dilmun if you’re looking for something unique and exciting to do here in Bahrain!

Biggest Water Park in Bahrain thumbs up for to all the staff they are so kind and friendly.

The Tree of Life in Bahrain is a 400-year-old mesquite tree standing alone in the Sakhir desert, about 40 km from Manama. Rising nearly 10 meters tall, it thrives without any visible water source, making it a symbol of resilience and mystery. Surrounded by legends—some link it to the Garden of Eden—it remains one of Bahrain’s most famous landmarks and a must-visit cultural treasure. Tree of Life is a lone Prosopis cineraria ( tree in the middle of the desert which is 400‒440 years old, believed to have been planted around 1582-1583 It stands on a sandy hill in the Southern Governorate, in the desert (Sakhir area). It’s remarkable because it survives in the desert without any visible source of water. There is no nearby river, stream, or irrigation, and rainfall is minimal. 1. Very deep roots (possibly reaching groundwater) 2. Adaptation to arid desert climate, such as small leaves, ability to use moisture from soil or air. There are myths and legends, too — some say Enki (a Sumerian/Babylonian god) protects it; others suggest it might mark the site of something ancient like the Garden of Eden. Best seen after dusk or near sunset for dramatic lighting. The drive off the main highway (Musakar Highway) can go through soft sand, so it’s safer to have a decent vehicle and be careful. Bring water and maybe some snacks; amenities are limited.

I went mid-day during the week. There were not any other visitors during that time. The area around the tree is much cleaner than it was 10 years ago the last time i visited. Nearby there are ruins and within a short drive there are other landmarks and destinations. There was a security person there who was knowledgeable about the tree's history and friendly also. A must see when visiting Bahrain. There are public restrooms near the tree if the need arises. Be careful on the drive there through the oil field roads. There are a lot of speed bumps that you would not expect on a road with such high speed limits. Some of the speed bumps are not marked or painted as well. This could be very dangerous at night.

A visit hete is a good way to see ehat the landscape outside the built up areas looks like - you will go through desert and pass many oil wells on the way there. The tree is inside a large circle of protected land, but not in the centre of it, so you can walk all the way round getting different perspectives.

Nice place to visit..But beware of sandstorm since it is in midst of desert. Nature's wonder

One of the must visit tourist spot when you visit Bahrain! This Amazing tree is said to be over 400 years! I’m astonished that despite the harsh weather and deserted area, the tree still flourish and continue to grow strong and sturdy! It withstand against time amazingly! The area around the tourist spot has really improved a lot! There are many tents for camping and food bazaars around! I remember when we can touch the tree personally. But now, there are fences around it to protect the tree. It’s good to know that the government is protecting the tree to maintain its natural health thus preserving the great history within it. When I went there, it find it just sad that the people were really loud and the ATV bike riders are making the air dusty! Making also the place not as solemn as it should be. But I had a great time to revisit this place after 2 decades! Would definitely comeback and hope the tree is till alive and flourishing!

It is a cool place to visit. I recommend going in the cooler seasons during sunset.

It's just a tree. We can say a grandfather tree, 400 years old. Many people go just to see that place and the wonderful tree. The place has a full time security. Surrounding is maintained very neatly.

Visit in the winters. It's not air conditioned and you will feel the real heat. Don't forget to watch the videos which will tell you more details on this area. There is a shuttle in the evening to the nearby heritage site. So plan accordingly. Try to visit the nearby forts by taking the coastal road to ruwais.

Secluded Fort, can be reached by a regular sedan car. Well renovated and well preserved. No need to buy tickets upfront, if you are a resident you can access for free which is great. Plenty of information is provided on the premises regarding thr history of the fort. It is not that old in history but packs a rich background. You need to visit this at least once.

It's a very amazing historical and archeological site in Qatar, getting there exceeded my expectations and thoughts since I only thought it was a fort that just had a small history but it is rich in history. It's a worthy place to visit and learn a lot about Qatar.

It’s an amazing place to visit, a good service is provided by bus to take people to beach shore but service is from 9am till 5 pm many buses are there to take people around 5-10 in one bus towards shore Weather is humid but wind blows as I visited in July Best place with family and kids Even I went there with my 4 months old my daughter was happier

Made our way here from Doha, very easy to find and excellent information by Qatar Museum team on pearl diving and the history of Al Zubarah. We visited in August. So hot. No one was around. Would definitely go back in the off season.

The fort feels like stepping into a clean slice of history. Simple, solid walls, open courtyards, and that quiet desert air that makes everything slow down. Walking through the rooms gives you a good sense of how life functioned here, with the sun carving sharp shadows across the stone.

Cultural heritage Site. Roads are good and view is also good feels like you’re living in 90’s 🥰🤟🏻❤️
