Historical Fort. The first site of PEARLING PATH UNESCO World Heritage. Used to be the port of departure for pearling boats, and the fisrt port when boats return at the end of the pearling season. Closed on Tuesdays. Can be accessed from Bahrain National museum by boat, or from Muharraq Coast Gard .

قلعة بو ماهـر Bu Maher Fort : تقع قلعة بو ماهر جنوب مدينة المحرق في حالة بو ماهر ، ويعود تاريخ بنائها إلى الحقبة البرتغالية في البحرين . بدأت أعمال الترميم الرئيسية في القلعة في سبعينيات القرن الماضي ثم أستكملت أعمال التنقيب الأثرية لتكشف عن أساسات القلعة و شكلها العام في عام ٢٠١٠م. و ينظم متحف البحرين الوطني التابع إلى وزارة الثقافة رحلات بحرية من المتحف وصولاً إلى شاطئ قلعة بوماهر يومياً، و تجسد هذه الرحلات البحرية جزءاً من حكاية الغواصين و البحَّارة وتستعيد بعضاً من تجاربهم و جولاتهم في البحر ، خصوصاً و أن موقع قلعة بوماهر وخطه الساحلي كان يمثل الوجهة الأولى لاستقبال البحَّارة و النواخذة قديماً و نقطة الأنطلاق نحو رحلة الصيد التي كانت تمتد شهوراً . زرت هذه القلعة بمعيّة طلبة مدرسة الهداية الخليفية الثانوية على متن زورق بحري سريع مزود بوسائل الأمن و السلامة من متحف البحرين الوطني إلى قلعة حالة بو ماهر بتكلفة دينار بحريني واحد للفرد ذهاباً و إياباً.

Definitely worth visiting but do recommend stopping first at the Bahrain Cultural Museum on the way which will help add context. The site itself is brief but has a mini building on which you can see some more interesting info as well as observe a great sunset over Manama city.

Bu Maher fort only opened in recent years to the public. It is accessible from the Bahrain National Museum by boat only for an additional BD1 fee. It was built around 1840 and is considered the maritime entrance of the Pearling Path. Since you go by boat, you can stay just for about 30 mins so you don't miss the boat. Not usually crowded so they won't leave you. Check the departure times of the boats at the museum so you can plan your visit and maximize your time. You also have access to the beach while you are the there. Truly a wonderful...

supposedly a historic site in Bahrain, but couldn’t be a more depressing look. The “Fort” is just in ruins, surrounded by boats from the coast guard and a café that seems to have chairs and tables next to it.

If you go by taxi, you,ll be dropped at a location with a pedestrian bridge above. You need to use the elevator to go up. There are no signs or...
