Sheikh Salman bin Ahmed Fort

This mystical fort commands a panoramic view of a low desert valley and holds a captivating royal history.

About

The Sheikh Salman bin Ahmed Fort, also known as Riffa Fort or Qal’at ar-Riffa, has stood between the old town of East Riffa and the new town of West Riffa for hundreds of years throughout the reign of royals. The site boasts a square plan adorned with two circular and two rectangular towers positioned at the corners, with three courtyards by the northeastern tower. Throughout its history, the fort served as a residence for Sheikh Salman bin Ahmed Al Fateh, and prominent Bahrani ruler Shaikh Isa bin Ali Al Khalifa was born in a room within the northeastern tower. Beyond its architectural grandeur, the fort offers a splendid view across the Hunanaiya valley. Visitors have the opportunity to explore the fort freely during daytime, in addition to a museum with an admission ticket that showcases the fort’s rich history and features several rooms adorned with intricate architectural details.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

Our drivers are available 24/7, so you can book a trip at the time that suits your needs. And if you ever need assistance, our Customer Service team is available around the clock.

All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!

You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
