Forts · Arad, Bahrain
A restored 15th-century coastal fort in Muharraq, lit up at night against the water.
One of Bahrain's most photogenic forts, especially lit up at night.
Arad Fort is a square coral-stone fortress on Muharraq's coast, believed to predate Portuguese rule and later reinforced during their occupation. Fully restored, it's especially popular after dark when the walls are illuminated and reflected in the surrounding water.
