Half-day Desert Tour

The tour was expensive but nothing much to see… only the camels. We did not see anything at the F1 circuit . It’s basically nothing. However the tour guide Mrs. Ângela was great.

An excellent tour. Ravinder was a great guide - friendly, personable, lots of information..and was expert in three languages. Interesting, fun and definitely worth it.

Pick up time was half an hour earlier than advertised, driving around other hotels to pick up guests another hour in traffic. First visit - “pottery shop” - nothing to see. Second stop - camels in a zoo like environment. That’s ok. Third stop - formula stadium. Empty and boring. Next stop - fist oil well. Really interesting. Last stop tree of wisdom - just a tree in the desert. But interesting in a way. All together trip took over 5 hours 4 of which were in a not very comparable minivan with the internet not working. If I were to do it next time I’d hire a taxi and would make the whole trip in 2 hours for a quarter of the price. The guide was very friendly but mostly useless.

Great half-day tour, everything you need to see in just a few hours. Angela was a great guide, highly recommended! Ask anything and she has the answer!

Amazing experience. Had so much fun, the guide was very helpful throughout the trip and she was professional and friendly the entire time.

Tour was awesome and our tour guide was amazing. She was very knowledgeable on the history of the area and gave us lots of information while driving between sites!

Had a great time exploring Bahrain outside the main city. The guide Angela was amazing, showing us and explaining to us things from a perspective that only a local like herself would know. Throughout the whole journey she shared interesting facts and answered our curiosities about what we saw, highly recommend.

I had opted for Half-Day Desert Tour organized by Visit Bahrain group through Trip Advisor. It was a very nice memorable and cherishable trip. The time spent for the tour was adequate for each attraction spots and I could thoroughly explore the history of significant spots where we visited. The highlight of the tour was our professional tour guide Mdm.Angela, who was very caring and affectionate towards all in the group. She had commendable knowledge of the places visited and the way she explained in good English and her interaction with the group made the trip more exciting. I would highly recommend this tour group to all who wants to explore Bahrain. Another interesting personality was the tour driver Mr.Abdulla who showed tremendous responsibility in maintaining punctuality and caring for the safety of the travelers and also joining Mdm.Angela in explaining few points of interest at few attractions. Mdm.Angela & Mr.Abdulla together is a great team to travel with.

Angela, the guide and Abdullah, the driver were awesome. They did their job with wholeheartedly and with love.

Highly recommend. Half day tour was just right to pack in the highlights of Bahrain: Pottery; Burial mounds; Tree of life; Oil fields; F1 and Camel Farm. Maher as a tour guide was excellent - very knowledgable, even catering for the family mix of Archeologist, Engineering nerd, petrol heads and camel fans, and super friendly. He organised pick and drop off from our hotel which was not listed and the end of trip juices were awesome.

Excellent tour that covered all the key sights in Bahrain... even got to see some camels up close! Angela was a fantastic guide who gave a lot of information and history about Bahrain. The half day option was about right in terms of timing, would definitely recommend the tour!

Ravinder was an excellent guide with a wealth of information she made my trip so much better. I had a great time exploring around Bahrain. I will book again.

We had a great time, and the entire trip trip was cater just to us because we were the only guest for the trip. We were greeted promptly and on time and with an ice chest, full of water and juices. We enjoyed all of our stops, especially the camels. Unfortunately, it was lunchtime so no one else was there and we didn’t get to try any camel milk. The race track was fun, but also very hot and the gift shop was closed for lunch. The tree of life was amazing and not too crowded. Our tour guide Ravinder, was excellent and and full of local knowledge. Our driver, the Captain, was excellent, and got us everywhere safely and quickly. Overall, we had a fun time and a great experience seeing all the different attractions m. Thank you!

Reservations were easy to make. Timely updates on changes to meeting spot. Knowledgeable and friendly tour guides. Would recommend :-)

Amazing tour. Picked up bang on time from our hotel. Tour guide, Ravinder, was informative, friendly and funny. Timings made clear at each stop. Perfect balance of interaction and being left to explore ourselves. Camel farm was amazing. Top tour. Would highly recommend!

The guide is knowledgeable, you will understand everything about Bahrain. If you want to visit tree of life, book the tour is best option.

After an initial misunderstanding with our pick-up point, we had a great trip into the Bahraini desert. Ravinder was an excellent guide, with lots of local information. The minibus was comfortable and the driver was very good. Water and snacks were also provided. This trip visits all the sites on the itinerary, where you have sufficient time for photographs etc. All round a great way to see the desert.

I had an amazing experience from start to finish on this tour. Our tour guide and driver were very thorough and informative. I came for the Tree of Life and was glad for visit the other destinations. Beverages were provided and the bus was comfortable. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who is looking to explore and learn more about the history of Bahrain.

On time, no issues, well organised. No advertising or pressure to buy any stupid gifts. Enough time on tourists spots to explore.

The tour offered an efficient and enjoyable way to explore the city in just half a day, providing ample opportunities for great photos. Yashi and her team were attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the experience. We appreciated the variety of sights included in the itinerary and found it to be a memorable adventure.

We had an amazing time on our Bahrain tour with Maher. Our tour was customized for the sights we wanted to see and Maher obliged willingly. He is very knowledgeable of the Bahrain history. The best part about our tour was it did not feel like a tour provided by a "tour guide"; we were seeing the sights with a long-time friend. I highly recommend to ditch any tour bus and see the sights with a friend.

I'm still buzzing from my unforgettable adventure with Visit Bahrain! My incredible guide, Ravinder Kaur, made this solo trip truly special. Thanks for the warm support and for capturing the magic of Bahrain through your amazing photos! If you're planning a trip to Bahrain, look no further than Visit Bahrain - they're a must! Ravinder, you deserve all the accolades - keep shining!

Visit Bahrain half-day dessert tour was a really great decision to see something beautiful while working shortly in Manama. Angela was our tour guide and did a phenomenal job - we really enjoyed all the facts she had for us, but also her jokes and kindness which made the half-day tour amazing. Thank you for everything! :)

We really enjoyed this tour with Angela! She was so warm and welcoming and we learnt so much about Bahrain from her. My 6 year old was completely taken with her and she took the time to speak to her as well as all of the others on the tour. The highlight of the tour for us was the Tree of Life, it's a fascinating place and something we were really looking forward to. I highly recommend this tour and if Angela is your guide, you will have the best time!

My overall experience was excellent and our tour guide was nice and very knowledgeable, and the hospitality was everything.

Our tour guide Ravinder was so awesome and so sweet. This tour is an easy way to explore the desert of Bahrain in an efficient and easy way.

nice way to very quickly see the sights of bahrain desert in a very short time frame. did not spend much time in any of the stops - really just quick photo op stops at each. guide was knowledgeable about bahrain and its history.

Angela Marquis was a fantastic guide! She was extremely knowledgeable about the island and our destinations. She is fluent in Arabic and has no issues navigating the places of Bahrain and describing its history. I would highly recommend this tour, especially it is being given by Angela! Do not overlook all this Island has to offer!

Angela is the best tourist guide. Love her!❤️ she made sure we know the history of bahrain, talked about the economy, we learned about the the islamic religion. She took us the a restaurant were they give local food and for 1/4 of the price.

I had a lovely time with Ravinder. She is a great guide. Looked after me and made sure I had a great time. Very knowledgeable on Bahraini culture and history. She took me to amazing places all over the island. Tree of Life was a highlight for me. The camel farm was great too. She made sure I had food when I was hungry and provided water and juice. A great experience. Recommend if you visit Bahrain. Don't miss out.

This was a great and an affordable tour when you’ve only got a limited time to explore Bahrain. Tour guide Ravinder was very friendly and answered lots of questions about living in Bahrain. Seeing the pottery buildings, the burial mounds and the F1 circuit was very cool but the Tree of Life is the highlight. It’s so beautiful and still growing despite its location. Highly recommend the experience.

Got in the tour at the very last moment. Contact them thru whatsapp and were super friendly and open to make a last minute reservation. All stops were very interesting and our guide,Rvinder Kaur, explained all the history and culture with precision and finesse, making it a engaging and enjoyable tour. Also, she is a great photographer! A little hot this time of the year but they provide water and juice, what was amazing as I forgot my water and although there is not a lot of walking, fluids are needed.

This trip basically covers the importance tourist places. The circuit is the highlight but we couldn’t see the track as they were preparing it for the race. The oil wells and the saline camping is not a sight to be missed. The your guide Ms Kaur was really nice and friendly.

Perfect have the tour, visiting traditional, pottery, making, trail, life, first oil, well and formula, one circuit. Our tour guide Ravinder was wonderful, very informative and fun. Highly recommended!

A great half day tour to see some sights of Bahrain. Ravinder Kaur was our guide and she was excellent and very knowledgeable about Bahrain. She really made the trip enjoyable.

Made a booking due to 19 hrs of halt, but was a great experience. Guide and driver were great, didn't even let me feel I am in another country.

Camel farm was interesting, the other stops were average. Lots of driving around and were picked up a whole hour before the trip began

WONDERFUL TOUR! This was one of the best tours on our trip around the world! Our guide, Miss Ravinder KAUR, was amazing; also friendly, full of energy, attentive, knowledgeable and very punctual. Plus a great team with the driver, giving us bottles of water or juices and helping us, in and out, of the mini-van. The tour really visits the highlights of Bahrain during a few hours. We also got to see the Cathedral of our Lady of Arabia, thanks to Ravinder, although it was not on our itinerary. We highly recommand this excursion; it is money well spent when compared to other excursions that are just a bus tour. We got to see and visit many interestings locations.

Our guide was wonderful, Ravindar Kaur was knowledgeable and very kind. She was clearly passionate about her job. The tour was great too, camels were a major highlight. Very hospitable.

The tour is fantastic, our tour guy has explained very clearly, also take good care of us, we really enjoy this tour.

The tour was wonderful. Our tour guide Ravinder was great, full of energy and couldn’t do enough for us. She was so knowledgeable about each stop on the tour, and we even had some extra stops thrown in which we weren’t expecting such as the first ever Gulf Oil Drill. A lovely afternoon from start to finish!

The visit was very nice. Our tour guide Ravinderkur was lovely, patient and so helpful. We would recommend this tour to all visitors in Manama!

Informative and enjoyable tour accompanied by the very friendly Tour Guide Ravinda Kaur. She even added an additional stop, which is not normally part of the itinerary, a stop at the largest church in Bahrain.

we were able to visit the best places of interest in the country. an opportunity to take beautiful photos accompanied by a guide who is both kind and welcoming. the van was punctual and was air conditioned. a real adventure experience but with five stars. thanks again for the welcome and kindness

Maher was an excellent tour guide. I booked this at the last minute (2 hours before) and was the only person. It was like spending the afternoon with a friend! The sites were great, all the information was excellent, there was ample opportunity to enjoy what I was seeing. I really can recommend this highly enough! the camel farm was a highlight seeing a baby camel only hours old.

Nice and informative tour. However, for the cost it was lacking - possibly another stop at the fort would make it better value for money.

We were staying in Manama so decided on the desert half-day tour. There were only 8 of us on the tour in total. The tour guide was very friendly and gave a lot of interesting information. The pottery factory was a good stop and we bought some handmade souvenirs. We also stopped at the Bahrain F1 track and first oil well. We really enjoyed the trip

The trip was a wonderful introduction to Bahrain. We learned a lot. Our favorite part was petting the camels.

Very good tour and very friendly tour guide. It was very interesting to visit the oil fields. Some steps could have been a bit longer , but it was still a very good experience.
