Witness a remote and centuries-old mesquite tree that belies the harsh desert environment to survive despite no obvious water source. 

Myths and legends surround Bahrain’s Tree of Life, or Sharajat-al-Hayat, a 32-foot (9.8-meter) mesquite tree. Visitors wonder how it can still be alive after more than 400 years in the Arabian Desert’s remote, inhospitable setting. Some believe it marks the historical location of the Garden of Eden, while others say that Enki, an ancient god of water in both Babylonian and Sumerian mythology, protects the tree. Visit the Tree of Life, near Jebel Dukhan, and draw your own conclusions.

Mesquite trees typically hold a lot of water in their extensive root system, yet where the Tree of Life is concerned, no obvious source of water feeds it. Scientists have long sought an explanation for the tree’s longevity but have continued to be mystified, although some botanists believe it’s possible that the roots go deep and wide enough to draw water from faraway springs. As you make your way toward the inexplicably green-leafed tree, marvel at its inspiring presence, as it stands sentry on the horizon 440 feet (134 meters) above sea level.

Find the Tree of Life 1.2 miles (2 kilometers) away from Jebel Dukhan, the highest point in Bahrain, and 25 miles (40 kilometers) from Manama. Take the main highway from Zallaq to the sign for the Tree of Life directing you along a dirt road. Follow the signs until eventually arriving at the tree, about 15 minutes from Zallaq. Park on the vehicle path so you don’t get stuck in the soft sand. Along the way, watch for interesting landmarks including the Bahrain National Charter Monument, Sakhir Palace and Cathedral of Our Lady of Arabia.

While in town of Zallaq, consider the other nearby attractions, including the Al Areen Wildlife Park & Reserve, where you can walk through the Desert Flora Garden and view other Bahraini plants that prosper in the region and see endangered animals in natural habitats. The Tree of Life continues to stand as a symbol of hope as it flourishes despite hardship in the Bahraini desert.

8.8/10 Excellent! (75 reviews)

The property itself is very good, modern, well-appointed and well-kept. My suite was huge and well-equipped, good kitchen area, tvs and great bed. Staff were unobtrusive and helpful when needed. The area itself is still under development, with many vacant lots and traffic basically using sand tracks in some places. This made the walk to the local mall/hypermarket rather tricky, so taking a cab is recommended.
