Amazing Cultural Walking Tour with Khaled - We had a fantastic experience exploring with Khaled. The walking tour was the perfect blend of culture, history, and local flavor. Khaled shared fascinating insights into the country’s traditions and key figures, and I especially enjoyed learning about the pearling industry, which is such an important part of Bahrain’s heritage. A real highlight was getting to try authentic Bahraini coffee, tea, dates, and local snacks along the way. Khaled is knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. I highly recommend this tour!

Afternoon tour - The tour was great and very interesting. The day before I tried to do it on I own and I missed a lot of places as it's not very well indicated. I would recommend taking the tour, this way you also get more additional information. Khaled was great, very charismatic and funny. The places he took us too were beautiful and each one had a very interesting history. The group was great, and I had a lot of fun and a fruitful experience 🙌

Great tour! - Khaled loves Bahrain and does his best to share his love with others. If we walked around the old city of Muharraq on our own, we would see a maximum of 20% of the interesting places. A lot of historical information, visits of old houses, great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Historic & Cultural Tour! - We absolutely loved this walking tour of Muharraq/the Pearling Path — it is THE perfect way to see the Pearling Path and learn about Bahraini history, culture & sample some traditional snacks. We thoroughly enjoyed our time, and we saw and learned so much more than if we’d tried to do it without a guide. Mr. Khaled was a wonderful guide — he is kind, friendly and knowledgeable. He made this tour an exceptional experience! I am looking forward to doing more of his tours in the future!
