The ancient history of Bahrain

Toshie_C, Jan 2024

It was very nice to know about ancient history of Bahrain ! In such a small country there are 3 UNESCO world heritage sites, and visit them with an experienced guide as a private tour was nice memory in Bahrain. I didn’t know about The Dilmun civilization until my visit of Bahrain so it was perfect tour to learn about the ancient people in this region.
