Fadhell was a brilliant tour guide. We loved his stories and anecdotes sharing the history and culture of Bahrain. We were not rushed anywhere had plenty of time to explore and wander. He also gave us a great restaurant recommendation at the end and even dropped us there.
I really had a great time with Maher, he is very friendly and a great tour guide. He has many great facts about the country and he is clearly very passionate about what he does. My personal highlights were the camel farm and the burial mounds. I also feel the tour was good value for money.
We had an amazing experience in Bahrain thanks to our guide Maher. From the moment we booked, he was very professional and sent us all the necessary information, which was very reassuring. Maher is very attentive and adapts perfectly to the group. He is also a great photographer and takes the time to capture beautiful memories. His kindness and excellent knowledge of the country’s culture made the experience even more interesting. I highly recommend Maher to anyone looking to discover Bahrain in the best possible way!
Simply perfect. Perfect timing, perfect content, and perfect conversations with the guide. An incursion into the dessert complemented with camels and Formula 1.
My husband & I had a very enjoyable half day tour with Maher. He was communicative, friendly, informative and helpful. The tour itself was a great mix of different experiences. Highly recommend!
Maher, was the best tour guide i have had in a long time! Very knowledgeable about Bahrain and it's history. He taught my friends and I many things about Bahrain that we did not know. 10/10 would definitely tour again.
Excellent tour covering a variety of interesting places. The camel farm experience was most unique 😍 Maher is very knowledgeable and a perfect gentleman. The pace of the tour is perfect and we never felt rushed. Very comfortable and extremely good value !!
We took the half day bahrain tour covering 6 things away from Manama city. Mr. Maher was our guide for a half-day trip in Bahrain, and he was truly outstanding. His deep knowledge of the country—its history, culture, economy, and even the small details we were curious about—made the experience incredibly enriching. He explained everything with such clarity and patience that we left the tour feeling inspired and much more connected to Bahrain. I highly recommend Mr. Maher to anyone visiting. We are so grateful our paths crossed, and Inshallah (إن شاء الله), we look forward to taking more tours with him during our future visits. Shukran jazeelan (شكراً جزيلاً), Mr. Mahed, for an unforgettable experience. Wishing you continued success and blessings always—maʿa as-salāma (مع السلامة).
This was a great day out with Maher once again. He is a very knowledgeable guy and a very good host. Very professional and well led tour.
Superb experience with Mr Maher, he took his time to show me around and explained with interesting details.
Undertook this tour as suggested by Sal our Concierge at Hilton Hotel. Well conducted by the young Indian Lady. Never experienced a tour like this in my visits to the middle East... The camel farm and visit to the first oil well and tree of life was excellent. When i sighed a beautiful dome and asked our guide.. She told us it was a church and kindly let o us visit the cathedral at Awali..a must see.
It was very interesting, the guide knew a lot of things in detail and also explained a lot during the trip. Everything was also well organised and we were picked up on time.
Took tour with family visiting for first time. It was awesome for all ages of our group. From 6-66, we all loved it and learned a lot.
The trip is worth it. Maher is very knowledgeable tour guide! We appreciate Bahrain and its history because he gave us very good insight of the country! 5 stars
My friends and I really enjoyed this tour! Our guide Maher was fantastic, he told is many interesting facts about Bahrain and places we visited. A picture with a baby camel was definitely a highlight of our trip to Bahrain! Highly recommend!
Awesome half day trip with a great guide. Took us to 5-6 highlight spots in South Bahrain. Great value, guide was very flexible and customized the experience for us.
We had a wonderful tour with Maher. He was extremely professional, fun, and offered a wealth of information and insight into the culture and history of Bahrain. It was great to see the highlights of the country beyond the city center. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Bahrain!
Mr. Fadel is a very nice guide, very knowledgable about everything. He could answer all of our questions,too. The tour itself was very interesting, we are happy we had the chance to participate.
We were lucky enough to have the tour to ourselves. Having already visited the camel farm, our guide was happy to substitute it for the Dhow boat building much to the delight of my father-in-law. Our guide was informative, witty and even tried some German for the benefit of my inlaws who speak only a little English. All round we would wholeheartedly recommend this tour, especially to those who might find an all day tour too exhausting.
Mr. Maher is a very pleasant and educated guide, the time spent with him during the tour of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia was a very pleasant experience, we learned a lot about the culture of the countries, customs and he was willing to answer all my questions, which were many :)
Had pleasant exchanges thru WhatsApp before the tour and Maher was polite, courteous and very well versed from the beginning to the end of the tour. Prompt pick up, comfortable vehicle and the tour was just the right amount of time (just over four hours) Maher was very well briefed and even during travelling from site to site Maher educated us with relevant factual information. The tour consisted of visits to : A Camel Farm Bahrain F1 Circuit Bahrain's first oil well The Tree of Life A local Pottery workshop We never felt rushed & there was ample time for interaction & taking pictures. Maher was a great host & couldn't be faulted. He even found time to go to a local Garden Centre as we was trying to source a particular type of plant. Thank you Maher.
The best way to see the unique sites outside the city is experiencing it with a local. The 1/2 day tour was much more than we expected and we are so grateful for Maher for a fantastic experience. The tour description was accurate. We never felt rushed, stopped for some extra photo ops, and most importantly, the information provided to us during our drive times and at each location was very informative and appreciated.
Definitely a tour to be recommended. Thank you Maher for telling us so much about Bahrain, it was an amazing experience!
Excellent half day tour of Bahrain. A nice simple well delivered tour which hit some of the highlights this country has to offer. Our guide Maher was excellent very knowledgeable polit, the car was immaculate with good air con and chilled wate.
The trip was great, Maher is very friendly and knowledgeable. The excursion was very interesting. I highly recommend this trip
I loved exploring Bahrain outside of the city. Maher is a great tour guide and he knows so much about the country. It was really interesting seeing the oil fields and discovering Dilmun history. A great way to spend a day as a solo traveller and getting under the skin of this interesting place.
Did the half day desert tour with Mr. Maher. I had a great time and he was extremely knowledgable, and gave a lot of insights about the kingdom! 100% would recommend to anyone that has a little time in Bahrain and wants to get a feel of the place!
We really enjoyed our time . The guide was so friendly and he was on time . He made sure that everything is going smoothly .👌🏻 I really enjoyed my trip to Bahrain. This won’t be my last visit .😍🇧🇭
Every thing was amazing. The guide was nice and Bahrain is so pretty and worth visiting. Unforgettable experience and highly recommended
Very good tour with knowledgeable guide Maher. We enjoyed the ride and the country. Recommended if you have short time in Bahrain.
Best part of the trip was just talking with Maher and learning a bit about the Bahraini people and culture
Great experience through the desert and some nice tasting. I’ll definitely recommend for a chilling afternoon.
Professional, knowledgeable, and interesting guide for our half-day outside Bahrain. Just the experience I was looking for to complete my visit.
Maher was the best! I felt very comfortable with him. He was on time and concerned about my desire to see the city. He explained where we were going before hand and during the visit. Most of all, he didn’t know that I have motion sickness. When it it, I had to lay back, use my meds and stay calm! He was so understanding, allowed me the time needed for it to pass, and made me feel safe: I will use, only him, when I send people to Bahrain or return again. Number one in my book!!
Maher was an excellent guide. I communicated with him for a private tour via WhatsApp, where he can be reached at +973 3988 4063. We came up with an itinerary, then he offered to include me on a group Half Day Desert Tour after a few people requested him for the same day. This worked perfectly for me. His communication, both with planning and on the tour, was excellent. He was on time with the hotel pickup, pointed out sights along the way, and even brought drinks and snacks. He has extensive knowledge about Bahrain and was always willing to answer questions. It was a pleasure to spend the day with Maher and I highly recommend him to others looking for a good overview of Bahrain.
Absolutely the best experience in Bahrain. Everything went great from the moment i booked the tour, as they contacted me right away and informed me all the following steps. The communication and attitude was great. And i want to mention, Alya, our tour guide, she made our day and basically made this tour awesome. The tour was informative and we spent enough time at each site. I would definitely recommend them and if i ever come back to Bahrain, i will contact them to arrange more tours!
What a spectacular tour! Maher is someone with a lot of knowledge about Bahrain and the history of the country! He was very friendly and he even invited me a traditional tea. I recommend this tour to everyone who wants to see almost the entire country in one day.
A really interesting worthwhile trip with a lot packed in to the four hours. Our guide Maher was really friendly and kind and very knowledgeable - he really made it a great experience - thank you ☺️
The tour was very interesting, Maher was very nice and he gave a lot of information and was also happy to answer any of our questions. We also saw a bit of the F1 circuit, it was amazing! The tour was very rich with lot of stops in different parts of the country. A little bit overpriced but other than that everything was great.
Maher was very informative and friendly. We felt very well looked after on the tour and found all of the sites we visited very interesting. Thanks again.
Excellent experience with Maher. Very patient in explaining different sites and in answering all our questions. Also very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a lovely experience of Bahrain.
Mr. Maher, as always, was extremely knowledgeable about the Bahraini customs, culture, and traditions during our half-day tour. We went to places I’ve never been before, including visits to: *Dhow building site, *A-Ali Pottery, *camel farm, *Bedouin *live falcons, *F1 Racetrack, *Pearl walking trail and fort, *Muharraq Souk. He also took us to one of his favorite restaurants in the Manama Souk, where we enjoyed local cuisine. This is my third tour with Mr. Maher: *Saudi Arabia day trip, *Qatar weekend trip, and this half-day Bahrain tour. I hope to travel with him again…perhaps a weekend Girl’s trip to Kuwait! 5/5 stars and highly recommended
It was a wonderful experience giving us the opportunity to understand how the culture and traditions harmoniously combine with modern life in Bahrain. From theRoyal Camel Farm( we made “close” friendship with few “residents “ 🙂) up to the Pottery Workshop we visited 5 significant sites including ancient cemetery (UNESCO heritage). A comfortable 4WD and complementary fresh cocktails made our trip a great pleasure. All the above were accompanied by a knowledgeable, friendly and fine manners guide - Mr. Maher a former University of Bahrain Professor. We thank you and we are looking forward to exploring new sites in the near future.
Tour Guide Mr Maher was excellent and informative. He gave a very good insight of the culture and lifestyle of the people
Great morning out- the guide was so knowledgeable and kind- just the type of person to introduce you to a new country so you can learn and experience it.
I was absolutely fortunate to have this excellent professional tour guide who has extensive knowledge of the local area and also to enjoy his hospitality. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wanted to take this half an hour day tour of Desert tour
The tour was great, we visited a lot of places and Mr. Maher was very kind and informative about the history of the destinations. We saw places that otherwise we wouldn't visit so the trip was totally worth it.
Mr Maher was very polite, helpful and accommodating. A lot a places and alternating landscapes to soak in, recommended with no hesitations!!
Summarise and quite comprehensive, very suitable for a short layover tour. Started around 9am and ended around 1pm. To visit all the sights may consider the full day tour instead.
Monday through Friday 9 am to 7 pm EST
