The empty half of the island. A tree standing alone in the desert for four hundred years with no water anyone can find, and the well that changed the Gulf.

An afternoon departure so you reach the Tree of Life in the best light. On the way: the Royal Camel Farm at Janabiya, the Bahrain International Circuit, and the first oil well in the Arabian Gulf, drilled in 1932.

The Oil Museum building is closed. The well and the original rig outside are still there and are what people photograph. We would rather tell you now than let you find out there.

Is the Oil Museum open?

No, the museum building is closed. The well and rig outside are open and free.

Is it too hot in summer?

We depart at 14:00 and reach the tree after 16:30 for that reason. Bring water beyond what we provide, a hat and sunglasses.
