Forts

There are three forts in Bahrain that are interesting to visit.

The Bahrain Fort near Seef is also known as the Portuguese Fort. You can follow the brown tourist signs to the fort. It's not too hard to find. Bring a guidebook, because the local signs don't have much information on it. The fort has been largely restored, and offers some nice views of the sea and the city on clear days.

The Riffa Fort is my next favorite and functioned as a home until sometime in the 20th century. It has great views of the desert valley and the brown (sand) golf course.

The Arad Fort is in Arad on the island of Muharraq (where the airport is) and is interesting as well, but unless you have a lot of time in Bahrain, I'd make sure you do the other two first.
