New Bahrain Map Monument at Tubli

For old comers I am sure that everyone knows about Bahrain Map Monument. Many used it as a landmark for giving directions. It is located outside Mc Donald store in Tubli at the corner of the traffic signal.

It was demolished once when the government made Tubli Flyover project and now it is there again but offcourse with new look.

It is smaller then previous one but look more modern. It is standing in the corner of traffic signal for the traffic come from Isa Town heading Salmaniya.

I will upload the picture once is available. This time I am not sure it can become the landmark once more.

Golden Circus in Bahrain

Circus is in town once again. It is located in Al Ahli Club, next to Jasmis. Near American embassy. It worth to watch and a must see show with ticket 3-5-10 BD. Ticket counter open from 11 AM till 10 PM.

It's better to buy ticket in the morning for evening show. The show use Arabic language but most of the attractions in circus not required clear information.

Lions and Tigers are there, also clowns. The most attractive show for me is the fast dress change with a nice dance and dramatization of the show.
