Manama, the nation’s capital, is home to the country’s most notable attractions. Here, tourists can go on an excursion to the old Portuguese fort, whose grounds are now used for archeological digs. Al Khamis Mosque, one of the oldest Islamic structures, is located in the same region. The complex of Beit Al Qur’an is particularly worth a visit because it contains a historic mosque, expansive library halls, and a local museum.

The capital is home to numerous architecturally stunning structures designed in the classic Arabian style. The most notable are Arad Fort, St. Christopher’s Church, and the principal Exhibition Center.

When you’re done with sightseeing, it’s time to relax on one of the expansive sand beaches or visit the traditional markets that are of appeal to all tourists. The Gold Souk neighborhood is one of the most popular because it offers a vast assortment of jewelry. Visit the Clos Souk market if you’re looking for the highest quality textiles.

The Hawar Islands are an archipelago of desert islands, of which all but one are held by Bahrain. Qatar administers the small, uninhabited Jinan Island as part of its “Al-Shahaniya” municipality. The archipelago is located off the west coast of Qatar in the Persian Gulf’s Gulf of Bahrain.

The islands were once inhabited by the Bahraini branch of the Dawasir, who settled there in the early nineteenth century.

In 1820, when they were known as the Warden’s Islands, the islands were initially mapped and two communities were noted.

They are currently abandoned, with the exception of a police barracks and a hotel on the main island; access to all islands except Hawar island is strictly limited.
