Manama, Bahrain - Atbahrain B.S.C.(c), Bahrain’s leading Destination Management Company has announced the launch of official sightseeing bus tours as part of the Kingdom’s drive to enhance tourism in Bahrain. The branded “Atbahrain” tour buses, which will operate daily tours to top attractions and sights in the Kingdom, will be staffed by qualified and licensed Bahraini Tour Guides and will be taking bookings from visitors and residents from the date of commencement of operations which will be the 1st of February 2017.
Commenting on the pending launch, Atbahrain CEO, Mr. Peter Cook, said: “The introduction of daily sightseeing tours to Bahrain’s tourism scene is a major milestone towards elevating Bahrain’s tourism industry and building the infrastructure for sustainable touristic success. This service addresses a gap in the sector that exists today, whilst also making Bahrain more appealing as a leisure destination to tourists. These tours will be one of the best ways for visitors to the Kingdom to get acquainted with all that this unique island has to offer and I am confident that they will be received well by the market.”
The fully air conditioned, luxury coaches will operate seven days a week, with three exciting tours to choose from, including “Bahrain in a day”, “Explore the City of Manama” and “Friday Afternoon Escape”. The buses will take guests on tours of the Kingdom’s major landmarks and attractions and will immerse visitors in the rich heritage and traditions, while showcasing the cosmopolitan culture of modern day Bahrain.
