Visit: January 2016. It is quite difficult to get around Bahrain without spotting at least one of the burial mounds. They are numerous and spread around the island. Just be aware that not all of them are inscribed. I mainly visited A’ali field, passing by other fields by car. The place is far from touristy. It’s actually next to a military premise and the soldiers there checked my camera to make sure I did not photograph their structures. There is not much to see anyway. The fields look like the work of a giant mole. At the time of my visit (2016) there was no information on site and no special protection of the mounds.

I must admit I am not especially fond of Bahrain. I didn’t warm up with the country and tried to visit as many TWHS as possible in order to avoid having to go back. None of them were good. But luckily my efforts paid off with this visit. I understand the value of these mounds, but due to the lack of information and the fact that it’s just a bunch of hills this was a dull visit.     

Just drive down Shaikh Salman southbound. You will see the mounds from the highway.
