We took a short boat tour to Bu Maher fort located in southern Muharraq city. Though the site is simple, the boat tour was a great way to make us happy.
The Ministry of Culture succeeded in inscribing this site as a World Heritage Site in 2012. This site represents a testimony of around seven thousand years of pearling history in the Arabian gulf. The visitors center located next to the fort is the starting point to discovering the Pearling Road.
