Private jet charter to Bahrain
Often overshadowed by larger neighbours like Saudi Arabia, in recent years the tiny island nation of Bahrain has evolved into a worthy luxury travel destination in its own right. Visitors to the ancient port city in the Arabian Gulf will find traditional bazaars and ornate mosques offset by modern skyscrapers, luxury hotels, a growing art and foodie scene, and even a Formula One grand prix. Get a fast quote from Air Charter Service to charter a private jet to Bahrain.
As the former site of the Dilmun Empire and epicentre of the Gulf's pearling economy, Bahrain is steeped in ancient heritage. No surprise, then, that its most popular attraction is the excellent Bahrain National Museum, which houses a rich collection of ancient archaeological artefacts dating back up to 6,000 years. Head outdoors to tour fascinating excavations at the UNESCO-listed Bahrain Fort and admire the intricate Islamic architecture of former capital Muhurraq’s historic homes.
Another must-see site is the magnificent A'Ali Royal Burial Mounds, which were built 4,000 years ago and include a lavish royal mound with five separate chambers. History buffs can peruse the region’s finest collection of ancient Qurans at Beit Al Quran, where you’ll find a copy of the Islamic holy book from almost every century since the religion began; while the 20th-century Al Fatih Mosque is an impressive modern landmark. Further afield in the desert is the Tree of Life, a sacred 400-year-old mesquite tree that’s said to thrive without any water.
Every modern city has shopping malls, but no visit to Bahrain is complete without haggling for spices, lamps and scarves in one of its traditional souks. Those looking for a more luxurious souvenir to take home should check out the Gold Souk’s ornate jewellery and local pearls. Alternatively, join a pearl-diving expedition in search of your own precious gem before exploring the glittering Arabian Gulf on a stand-up paddle board.
Visitors to Bahrain are spoilt for choice at mealtimes, as the country is home to a range of eateries catering to every taste. Wander down charming Shawarma Alley for an authentic taste of local cuisine, where you’ll find endless stalls selling the kebab-style street food. If you’re looking for a fancier meal, Block 338 in the trendy Adliya neighbourhood is packed with upmarket restaurants and rooftop bars offering everything from steaks to sushi.
