Sunsets in Bahrain can never disappoint, always displaying a wonderful natural show to welcome the evening on the island! From pink to orange hues, the sky feels like it transforms into a painting and makes after work rush hour less hectic!
5. An aerial view of Manama by @rakesh_shah67
A bird’s eye view is sometimes all you need to reset your perspective on how beautiful the urban landscape is and how much it’s evolved throughout the years! The Four Seasons hotel in Bahrain situated on its own island is hands down one of the best designs from the hotel franchise.
6. A crisp shot by @bibinbay
Al Fateh Grand Mosque is the largest mosque in Bahrain, and among the largest in the world. It draws attention for its grand beauty in architectural structure. This perspective shot highlights many elements of the island from this significant landmark, the island’s national palm tree, and natural elements like the blue sky, a street puddle to reflect the image. Quite beautiful!
7. A traditional photo taken by @shiks_cliks
Kurar is an important cultural tradition in Bahrain where women weave gold and silver embroidery as a group. The tradition is preserved by a group of elderly women at the Kurar House in Muharraq, where the craft is passed down to younger generations. This image captures the hands of the women weaving kurar.
8. A full moon behind Rashid Al Zayani Mosque by @mohd_asfoor
This talented photographer based in Bahrain takes really great shots of the moon in Bahrain, which is a sight to experience. When it’s visible and closer to the earth, one can barely take their eyes off of it!
9. A moment preserved in time taken by @strolling_around
For such a well developed island that’s modernized a lot throughout the decades, there are still remnants of the past that are left to be observed by a passerby! This photo of an old ruin in Zallaq is a prime example of preserves architecture in Bahrain.

If one was to learn about Bahrain’s significant history, traditions, and culture, then a trip to Muharraq is a must. Muharraq has to be walked and explored, observing grand architecture, heritage sites, and remnants of the past.
11. This ominous shot of the sea was taken by @imthiyaskhan
There’s something so therapeutic about watching the sun rise or set by the beach, listening to those gentle waves crashing by the shores, and the birds calling for each other. Luckily, being surrounded by water, we get to watch this beautiful hour of the day from many angles.
