The year-round calm waters of the Amwaj Gone fishing


Keen anglers will revel in the many fishing opportunities available in Bahrain, which boasts the richest marine ecosystem in the Arabian Gulf. Deep-sea fishing charters offer clients the chance to reel in prized catches such as barracuda, kingfish and snapper. Alternatively, visitors can stay on land and fish from the shore. Local fishermen also lead guided expeditions across the island’s coast, sharing their tips and expertise, as well as insights into time- honoured Bahraini maritime traditions.


Islands or the expansive sands of Al Jazair Beach make the perfect location to suggest for paddleboarding fans, whether they’re expert paddlers or searching for a place to dip their toe into the water for the first time.


Adrenaline junkies For clients in need of a daily adrenaline


dose, you can’t get more exciting than jetskiing. Travellers can zip across the waters of the Gulf, outpacing the seabirds overhead, with the Bahraini skyline as a showstopping backdrop. For a different perspective, they can take to


the skies on a parasailing adventure, admiring the awe-inspiring panoramas of the desert sands meeting the open sea from above. The Lost Paradise of Dilmun water


park is a more family-friendly alternative that will keep adults and water babies entertained. The swishing of cool water through winding tunnel slides, relaxed lazy rivers and crashing wave pool could make anyone forget they are close to the desert.
