I don't think if there is a reason to hate a place like this, because the place itself is highly amazing and very attractive especially on it's structured features. The history of the fort has also been preserved which top as one of the best archeological site. In additional contribution that I want to table it on concerning the site, is that the site need the allocation of a media station, i.e an audio expression instruments to assist the visitors who come for visiting to get a clear history and this can be sites at the main entrance of the Fort. The Holy Qur'an recitation and some of the best Nasheed to lead the Media and a presenter who can present the history of the fourth in Arabic, English to be employed for the best of positive attraction and knowledge suffusion at the Fort .I think this can be one of the best way that can rise the project more higher...

One of the few forts in Bahrain worth visiting. The fort spans over two floors, and the stairs are pretty good to climb. The fort has a rich smell of history to it. While being well-maintained, the fort can get some touches here and there to make it more appealing to visitors; mainly by placing items from the life of the Royal Family. Also, having a museum within it is an idea worth exploring by the authorities in-charge. Very close to the fort is the Bahrain Military Museum (a few 100 meters walk). Accessing the fort is free. Expect to spend no more than 30 minutes here.

Sheikh Salman bin Ahmed Al-Fateh  Fort, commonly known as Riffa Fort due to its location in Riffa, is an historic landmark and stands witness to one of the most important junctures in Bahrain’s history. Within its beautiful architecture lives the memory of the ruling family of Bahrain, the Al Khalifas. The fort also houses the Saffron Café, which overlooks the picturesque Al-Haniniya Valley, offering visitors the perfect ambience created by the site’s history and environment. Entrance is free no tickets, its very good place to visit with children.
