Arad Fort

About

Situated just a five-minute drive away from the modern Bahrain International Airport and the sleek surroundings of Bahrain, Arad Fort is a fascinating anachronism. The Fort is a lesser-known tourist destination, meaning you’re likely to find yourself alone within its walls. Immerse yourself in its uninterrupted history, in the very place of frequent conflicts throughout Bahrain’s turbulent past. The 15th century fort showcases the skilled craftsmanship of traditional Islamic architecture, utilizing materials such as palm trees and coral limestone abundant in the local beaches. Strategically positioned along a vital waterway that connects the island to the rest of Bahrain, the fort served as a formidable defense against invading marauders, making it a captivating destination for history enthusiasts and curious travelers alike.
