SPEND PART OF YOUR MEETING AT THE BAHRAIN FORT
Treat your delegates to a once-in-a-lifetime experience at the Bahrain Fort (Qal-’at Al Bahrain). The area of the fort was inhabited sometime around the third century BC and was thought to be the capital of the Dilmun civilisation on the island.
After thousands of years of continuous inhabitations, the Portuguese came along and built an impressive fort in the 16th century.
In an exclusive tour of the fort and its informative museum, your delegates can learn more about the fascinating history of this magnificent place, which includes a state-of-the art hall where you can hold your meeting and enjoy lunch or dinner served by InterContinental staff.
INSIDER LOCATIONS
DEVELOP YOUR CONFERENCE THEME THROUGH LOCAL HERITAGE

Close to the King Faisal Highway in Manama, the museum possesses a rich collection of Bahrain’s ancient archaeological artifacts acquired since 1988, and covers 6,000 years of Bahrain’s history. This US$30 million complex includes three halls devoted
to archaeology and the ancient civilisation of the Dilmun, while two other halls depict the culture and lifestyle of Bahrain’s recent pre-industrial past.

ENJOY A WONDERFUL DAY AT AL-JASSRAH CENTER FOR HANDICRAFTS
Encourage your delegates to bring out their creative side at this exclusive workshop for artisans. Al-Jassrah Center for Handicrafts is considered to be one of the most important official agencies tasked with the development of handicrafts industries and the artisans involved in them in the Kingdom.
During their workshop, delegates can watch and learn the arts of mat weaving, basket making, pottery and boat building. Enthusiastic staff and craftsmen encourage visitors to take a close look at the technical processes involved and how items are made. Delegates will also be given the opportunity to try their hand at making their own original pieces to take back home with them as a memorable souvenir. The Center also showcases the work of musical instrument makers, tanners and silk weavers.

DISCOVER THE TREASURES OF AL AALI POTTERY
We invite your delegates to visit Bahrain’s last remaining traditional potteries in Aali. There will be an opportunity for delegates to make their own pottery pieces and to purchase original works of art direct from the master potters themselves. Fragments of clay pieces hundreds of years old, which have been found all over Bahrain confirm that pottery was once a widespread industry on the island. Today, pottery is made only in the village of Aali where traditional methods are still used. Delegates can watch as flowerpots, vases, incense bowls, water jugs, and plates are moulded, dried in the sun and then heated in kilns. There are only a few such potteries in Aali, which have
survived some 5,000 years after this ancient industry first flourished on the island.
