Jebel Al Dukhan and the Tree of Life
At 439 feet (134m) above sea level, the Jebel Al Dukhan hill is
the highest point in Bahrain. Translated from Arabic,
Jebel Al
Dukhan means 'Mountain of Smoke', named for the haze which
often surrounds it on humid days. There are various undetermined
caves in the area for visitors to explore. Not far away (2km), the
Tree of Life stands alone in the desert, its water source a
complete mystery.
