It was a very quiet day yesterday and we didnt have much things to do at home. Suddenly, my 2nd son, KA suggested that we go somewhere on a higher level to test his newly bought binoculars. We got dressed and headed our way to Arad Fort which is located on Muharraq Island.
Situated near the Bahrain International Airport, Arad Fort was built during the 15th C, before the Portuguese invasion of Bahrain in 1622 A.D. Square in shape with a cylindrical tower on each corner, the Fort overlooks sea passages of Muharraq's shallow seashores. A breathtaking views of Manama City and the surrounding districts can be seen clearly from the towers. As for KA, he managed to count the numbers of mosques around the Fort, and there were about 22 of them altogether.
