Al-Fatih Mosque (Great Mosque)

Reviewed By SlabbyBelgium - Bornem, Belgium

We had read about this mosque and were not disappointed! This is a real marvel in all its facets when it comes to fine architecture. We had the luck of having of a wonderful guide who guided us around and explained us the history of Bahrain and its religion. Interesting! We were lucky that we arrived before a coach with other tourists entered the mosque so were able to take marvelous pictures. Always impressed when you one sees the grandeur of such buildings.... same in Moscat, Abu Dhabi, Mosta..... Think without religion in your mind and discover the beauty of these constructions!

Ahmed Al Fateh Islamic Center

Reviewed By bexsweetlife - Shoreline, United States

My husband was excited to begin my tour of Bahrain at the Grand Mosque. We arrived dressed respectfully, men in long pants (traditional cloak available to men wearing shorts) and I was offered an abaya (black cloak) to cover my clothes and a scarf for my head. We took part in a tour offered just as the mid afternoon Adhan (call to prayer) was beginning. The guides speak many languages and tours in languages other than English or Arabic can be arranged in advance. We were able to take pictures inside the beautiful building and we were encouraged to ask questions. We were given the option to stay for prayer time and observe from the upper mezzanine. Afterward, we had a couple of questions and a second guide took us back into the mosque to answer all of our questions for over an hour. Friday mid-day is the busiest time at the mosque, and we would not have picked that time to go. We would highly recommend taking the time to visit the mosque!

Shaikh Isa bin Ali House

Reviewed By Rosario_it - Belgium, null

This typical house is very interesting and attractive. The visit was very enjoyable. I think it was the most interesting thing to visit in the old area of Al Muharraq which is located just some km. from Manama and very easy to reach in bus.
