Are there any UNESCO World Heritage sites in Bahrain?

Yes, Bahrain's rich history, culture and natural heritage are on display at a number of UNESCO World Heritage sites. These locations demonstrate Bahrain's significance as an Arabian Gulf center of trade and culture. The following are Bahrain's UNESCO World Heritage Sites:

Qal’at al-Bahrain (2005)

Because of its cultural significance, this archaeological site—also called Bahrain Fort—was named one of Bahrain's UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2005. Numerous archaeological digs have been carried out at the location since 1954 and over the years, researchers have discovered a variety of antiques. According to researchers, the Persians, Portuguese and Kassites, who lived at the location as early as 2300 BC, built these man-made mounds.

Bahrain Pearling Trail (2012)

This Bahraini cultural asset has also been acknowledged by UNESCO for its significance to the Arab world. The Bahrain Pearling Trail is a 3.5-kilometer path located on the island of Muharraq. According to some archaeologists, this was in use by pearl divers for the majority of Bahrain's history, dating back to 2000 BC. Buildings, oyster beds, fortifications and a seashore are all part of the route. 

Dilmun Burial Mounds (2019)

Constructed between 2050 and 1750 BCE, the Dilmun Burial Mounds cover more than 21 archeological sites in the island's western region. A few dozen to several thousand tumuli make up the burial mound fields found at six of these locations. Originally constructed as low, cylindrical towers, there are around 11,774 burial mounds in all. Among the remaining 15 locations are 17 royal mounds, which are two-story sepulchral towers. The burial mounds are proof of the Early Dilmun civilization, which flourished during the second millennium BCE. Bahrain was a commercial center at this time and its wealth allowed its people to create a complex burial custom that was followed by everyone.
