Bahrain
/ Attractions / Arad Fort
This
16th century fort of Arabic construction is probably one of the
first landmarks you will see upon arrival to Bahrain due to its
proximity to the airport. It has undergone extensive restoration,
and is now illuminated at night, presenting a magnificent sight.
Little is known of the fort history, and there is no firm evidence
of the precise date of construction, but comprehensive excavations
have been undertaken in order to discover its past. N.B. Stout
shoes should be worn if you intend to pay a visit, in order that
you can explore to the full - high heels are not suitable for
climbing about on the ramparts!
