Top 5 Filming Locations in Bahrain
Manama
Manama is the capital and largest city of Bahrain, and an important trading and financial center in the Persian Gulf. The city is famous for its many skyscrapers and modern buildings, and the seascape view during the sunrise or sunset is simply breathtaking. If your film production requires any of these stunning settings, then Manama is definitely worth checking out.
Bahrain World Trade Center
Located in Manama is the famous Bahrain World Trade Center, a twin-tower complex and the first skyscraper in the world to integrate wind turbines into its design. If your film production requires a futuristic skyscraper, then this would be the perfect match for your setting.
Reef Island
Reef Island is a man-made island located 2 km north of downtown Manama in the beautiful Bahrain archipelago. It's known for its stunning beaches and clear blue waters, making it a popular tourist destination. The island would provide an ideal setting for a movie with a vacation or family theme.
Tree of Life
The 400-year-old Tree of Life is located on a hill in a barren area of the Arabian Desert in Jebel Dukhan, the highest point in Bahrain. The tree is a local tourist attraction, both due to its age and the fact that it is the only major tree growing in the area and covered in green leaves. It's a rare and unique location for any film that requires this specific look.
Qal'at Al Bahrain
"Qal'at Al Bahrain," also known as the Bahrain Fort, is an archaeological site of a port that was once the capital of the Dilmun civilization. It served more recently as a Portuguese fort and was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005. This location would be stunning for filming any movie.
