Desert & camping · Sakhir, Bahrain
A solitary 400-year-old tree standing alone in the desert with no visible water source nearby.
A genuinely strange sight — a lone living tree in the middle of empty desert.
The Tree of Life is a mesquite tree estimated at roughly 400 years old, standing alone on a barren hill in southern Bahrain with no obvious water source, which has made it a subject of local legend and a well-known photo stop for visitors touring the south of the island.
