Al Khamis Mosque
Al Khamis Mosque, built around 692 AD, Al Khamis Mosque is one of the oldest mosque I the Arab world. The identical twin minarets on this ancient Islamic monument make it easily recognizable. The foundation dates back to the 11th century and has been rebuilt in the 14th and 15th centuries. During this reconstruction the twin minarets were added.
Barbar Temple
Barbar Temple, the ancient sites in Bahrain center round the Dilmun societies centuries ago. The ruins of the Barbar Temple date back to the third millennium BC, to the days when the God Enki was in high esteem as the God of water and Earth and sometimes creation itself. The 5000 year old Barbar Temple is a small cluster of stone wall foundations. There are three temples roughly 500 years apart, built on adjacent foundations.
Saar Excavation
Saar Excavation, dating back to 1900 BC when the region was known as Dilmun, the excavations have unearthed an entire 100 by 150 mtr village which proved the existence of a very organized life style with well-ordered roads, houses with courtyards and a central marketplace.
Al Jasra House
Al Jasra House, is the birthplace of a former ruler. Built in 1907, using local materials, this was the birthplace, in 1933, of the late Amir, Shaikh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa. One of the most fascinating rooms is one where dates used to be piled in palm-woven baskets and left to ripen.
Burial Mounds
Burial Mounds, the largest prehistoric cemetery in the world. There were some 165000 burial mounds in Bahrain dating to between 3000BC and 300BC. Each mound contains a stone built chamber which formed a grave for a person buried in the fetal position along with various elements presumably believed to be needed in the next world.
