Karbabad Beach

Karbabad is a village in the northern region of the Kingdom of Bahrain, along the Persian Gulf's northern coast. The town is well-known for its proximity to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Qal'at al-Bahrain. Head for the Bahrain Fort, past the Bapco petrol station in Seef, to reach this fantastic public beach, which is popular with both locals and expats. It's a nice place to go for an evening walk, a picnic, or to take pictures. If swimming is possible, keep in mind that Karbabad is a relatively traditional community, so dress accordingly. Bikinis and bathing suits are so prohibited.

Continue on Qual'At Al Bahrain Ave. to the Bahrain Fort after 1 km along the shore, at the western end of the beach, at the Beach Rose Towers. The ruins of this 16th-century Portuguese fort have a number of trails that wind around an archaeological site, as well as a worthwhile museum. Retrace your steps for a 9.3-mile out-and-back hike.
