Bahrain had made contacts with other Middle Eastern civilizations of the time through sea trade and was therefore exposed to the great civilizations of Egypt and Mesopotamia. Their history shows a sensitivity to art. I just wanted to show everyone a few examples of ancient Islamic constructions.
These photos are from one of Bahrain's forts. It was built at least 2000 years ago and is very well preserved. The fort is surrounded by a moat and is next to the beach. I love its elegant simplicity.
