This is the best place to get bahrain view from the top of mountain. Fort is located in the top of Riffa mountain. One of the major archaeological site located in Bahrain.

As at 15 Nov its closed for around 2 months for internal rennovations.
Disappointing. No info just closed. Id made a trip to see the fort but could only enjoy the external aspects.
The coffee shop and viewing platform at the rear is still open and accessable independantly. Theres no entry fee.
Its worth a visit to enjoy a sunset. I look forwards to being able to see inside.
Great to see at night too. Its really well illuminated.

The fort of the Shiekh and former Ruler of Kingdom of Bahrain is a historical landmark. It is a reminder of the Kingdoms glorious past and it is very well maintained with a museum. It is worth visiting and there is Bahrain Military museum nearby.

Another nice Bahrain Fort that should be visited. Built on hill top to defend from enemies, the fort is now part of the riched Bahrain culture. Exhibition center with glass wall is a true example on how you mix modern and old architecture. Restaurant with terrace is part of the global offer.

A great preserved historical fort, built on a hill to defend against enemies. It is also called Riffa fort and was built in 1812. A great place to glimpse life at that time. There was a coffee shop inside. A glass exhibition centre was under construction when I visited in January. A well-maintained toilet was available inside. Security guards were around to let you feel secure. A highly recommend place to visit while in Bahrain.

Another one of the fine forts in Bahrain. The place is well-maintained on the inside, and one must expect moving between two floors. One can spend 30-60 minutes here. There is no entrance fees.
