Muharraq Island

Bahrain - Classic Bahrain

Muharraq feels largely medieval with narrow alleyways boasting some of the most beautiful historic buildings anywhere in the country, including the former royal residences and the wonderfully restored houses of wealthy pearl merchants.

Muharraq is also home to many of the country’s galleries and smaller museums. From strolling amid traditional houses depicting Arab Gulf-style architecture through to enjoying traditional cuisine, a day spent wandering through Muharraq’s atmospheric backstreets is a true highlight of a visit here.
