Wonderful tour of the highlights of Bahrain - We had an amazing day with our outstanding guide, Sharif, who taught us all about Bahrain on our half day tour. We went to some interesting sites around the city, and he paid attention to what we wanted to get out of our tour, which was really appreciated. The mosque visit was super educational and enjoyable, and we loved trying various foods at the markets. He even made sure we got the local specialty for lunch before the end of our tour. We highly recommend this tour as a great way to see the highlights of Manama and the surrounding area.

Excellent trip with Khalid Sharif. - We had a brilliant trip with our guide and driver Sharif. We visited the camel farm, the souk, the fort, Sharif made the trip very interesting & was very helpful and knowledgeable.

THE DEFAULT TOUR GUIDE IS MR SHARIF - Sharif is the best tour guide, he is affable, friendly and helpful, he takes his time to know his tourists and makes sure we get the best experience possible, nothing is rushed, if more time is wanted at the Camel farm he will factor that in, he explains the facts and his knowledge is exemplary , sharif will include snacks and drinks, what a lovely touch.
I totally recommend, if you need a guide there is only one person you need to consider and that is MR SHARIF

A good way to see Bahrain in a short time - Our driver was great. I took off one star as the camel farm part of the tour was closed, according to the guards it has been closed for a long time due to COVID. We were really looking forward to that part, Viator needs to check their itineraries to make sure open air venues are not closed.
