This May I finally had the chance to return home to Kenya…leaving the growing heat of Bahrain, and work, behind for a few weeks for a brief (isn’t it always?) respite. This East African country is not only the gateway into East Africa but also comparatively a stable, progressive republic with a breathtaking variety of landscapes and holiday options. There is something truly captivating about Africa that only be experienced in person…and one way to do this is to go on a cross-country Safari!

The Arad Fort is a 16th Century Arabic construction which has undergone (and is still undergoing) quite a bit of restoration. The Fort is located on the Arad Beach and offers a great view of the Sea. The fort is also illuminated at night and offers a beautiful spot for peaceful reflection.

If you're new to Bahrain, a must see is the Bahrain-Saudi Causeway, built in the middle of the sea. There is a toll of BD 2.000 for entry to the causeway and a rest-stop in the middle of the causeway. The Causeway Restaurant offers a great view of the causeway and the surrounding areas - entrance is 500 fils, and includes a cup or tea or coffee. The service or cleanliness is not so great but the views are worth a visit. The surrounding area is also great for a walk or just relaxing near the sea.
