Arad Fort, a classic example of Islamic fort architecture from the 15th century, once stood as a guardian of its own island, now connected to Muharraq Island. Despite being one of Bahrain’s smaller forts, it commands excellent views of the skyline and sea. Visitors can explore the sturdy walls and strategic layout that reflect its historical role in defense, while enjoying the panoramic vistas that stretch out over the water and the surrounding urban landscape.
