There is no substance more vital than water. Since ancient times, the lives of the inhabitants of Bahrain are known to be highly interconnected with its waters. It thus, comes as no surprise that the island of Bahrain was named as the Land of Two Seas, where people have depended on the waters that surround it for their subsistence, which has naturally woven their heritage and created their gateway to the rest of the world. The richness of the waters throughout the centuries have proven not just their uniqueness which blends culture and natural heritage through earning Bahrain its second UNESCO World Heritage Site inscription but also its resilience over time in the face of modernization. Join us on a special journey that shall shed light on Bahrain’s maritime archaeological and natural environmental heritage blending, the past, present and future prospectives.
