Old Bahrain survives among new buildings.

The Friday Mosque minaret reflected on the modern Bahrain Tower wall, Manama. The Friday Mosque minaret of Manama. Al Fateh Islamic Centre and Grand Mosque. Named for the scion of Ahmad Al Khalifa who captured Bahrain in August 1783, the sparkling Grand Mosque on King Faisal Highway symbolises the significance of this historic event to Bahrain. At night it stands out as a magnificent floodlit beacon on reclaimed land, a symbol of the spirit, adventure and religious zeal against the relentless threat of the sea. Night by the sea in Bahrain, stars that move, lights from passing ships and the mark of the rising moon.
"The Tree of Life", standing alone in the desert about 1.2 miles (two kilometres) from the Jebel Dukhan, this flourishing mystic tree provides welcome shade from the heat of the day, although its source of water remains a mystery. Bahrain flag, surprisingly with no Muslim symbolism. Old Bahrain survives among new buildings.
