Introducing Bahrain

Archaeological wonders, precious treasures, impeccable hospitality

Throughout history, the Kingdom of Bahrain, founded on its freshwater springs over 4,000 years ago, has variously been known as 'the Land of Immortality' or 'the Great Paradise'. A vital link between East and West, it was a commercial hub and a sea transit point. It is a place where the past continues to be uncovered, thanks to its archaeological tradition which traces the civilisation back to burial mounds older than the pyramids and centuries-old fortifications. Characterised by its national symbols – the bulbul bird, the oryx, the majestic palm tree – Bahrain is most famous for its dates and its precious pearls, plucked from the two seas 'where the sweet water meets the saltwater'.

Bahraini citizens come from at least eight different ethnic groups, from Arabic Bahraini people to the Ajam ethnic Persian citizens, Balochis, Indians and ethnic tribal people. Known for their artistic skills, the local people craft their own boats for fishing and pearling, design and make intricate jewellery, and craft clay and ceramic pottery. The poets of Bahrain and famous for their verse, while traditional drumming accompanies weddings and other celebrations.

Once upon a time...
... the tale of the secret garden

Thousands of years ago, during the Dilmun Civilisation, there was a place called the Land of Immortality, rich with treasures of the earth, filled with a million palm trees, surrounded by the Arabian sea, and gifted with fresh water from the springs. Amid the beautiful palms, a young boy named Arif grew up with a passion for gardening. He spent his days dreaming of one day creating a beautiful garden that he could enjoy with his family and friends. As Arif grew older, he travelled the world collecting exotic seeds to bring back to his home land. Cultivating the land surrounding his courtyard house, he began planting the most wonderful garden in the whole kingdom. After each long day spent in the garden, Arif collected fresh water and cardamom from the garden to brew his favourite ghawa. The aromatic scent of brewed cardamom attracted visitors from far and wide to Arif’s garden, leaving special gifts of their own in return for sampling Arif’s delicious coffee.

His visitors were: the artisan, a master craftsman who uses wood to create art, chests and furniture, and clay to create beautiful pots; the calligrapher, bringing spiritual and positive messages in the form of beautiful Arabic writing; the pearl diver, because the land was known to have the best natural pearls; the musician, bringing joy and merriment using his traditional oud; and the weaver, with an array of beautiful baskets woven from palm leaves. Arif’s garden became a haven for travellers – not merely a place of trade, but an oasis for the well-travelled. Today, what was known as the Land of Immortality is now named The Kingdom of Bahrain, and what was once a young boy’s dream is now known as Raffles Al Areen Palace.

Our Bahraini art collection

The hotel's collection of art pieces – a striking adornment to the entrance lobbies, restaurants and shared spaces – has all been crafted by local artists referencing Bahraini cultural codes. An installation created from droplets of acrylic paint on canvas captures the abundance of pearls on Bahrain’s seabed, with pearlescent accents. Gestural brushstrokes in textured oils with touches of gold leaf poetically represent petals and leaves from an artist’s own studio garden. A collection of patinated metal-and-enamel sculptures resembling precious shells found in Bahrain's oceans is thoughtfully presented alongside locally sourced books. Everywhere you turn, a charming new story is poised to unfold.
