Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Phan Huy Ngoc surveyed heritage sites and relics in Bahrain

During the working program in Bahrain, after receiving the title of Dong Van Karst Plateau Global Geopark being honored as “The World's Leading Cultural Destination”, on December 7, comrade Phan Huy Ngoc, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee and the provincial working delegation surveyed a number of famous heritage sites and relics in Bahrain.

The delegation visited the first oil well discovered in the Middle East - a historical site symbolizing Bahrain's economic transformation.

Also in the working delegation were comrades: Tran Manh Loi, member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Commission; Phung Tien Quan, member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Internal Affairs Commission; leaders of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Provincial People's Committee Office and Dong Van commune.

During the survey trip, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Phan Huy Ngoc and the delegation visited Qal'at al-Bahrain Fortress - the most important archaeological site in Bahrain, with ancient architectural layers, once the capital of the Dilmun civilization. Qal'at al-Bahrain Fortress is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, a testament to Bahrain's 5,000-year history.

The delegation visited the sacred heritage site of the Tree of Life - one of the sacred places of Bahrain.

The delegation also surveyed promotional activities to attract tourists to visit the Tree of Life - a native tree about 400 years old growing alone in the middle of the barren desert without a clear source of water. This unique place attracts many tourists to admire the wonders of nature and is considered one of the sacred places in Bahrain.

In addition, the delegation also visited the first oil well discovered in the Middle East located in the Kingdom of Bahrain. This oil well was exploited in 1931 with a reserve of 400 barrels/day. This place is still exploited today and together with the Oil Museum is an important historical attraction - a historical and economic symbol of Bahrain, demonstrating the transformation of the country's economy from pearl diving to the oil industry.

Bahrain is a small island nation in the Persian Gulf, known as the “Pearl of the Gulf” thanks to its 5,000-year-old culture and unique blend of modernity and tradition. Despite its small size, Bahrain boasts a diverse heritage system from the ancient Dilmun civilization, UNESCO-recognized fortresses, the famous traditional pearl diving industry, to modern trade, services and tourism development.

Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Phan Huy Ngoc and his delegation visited and surveyed tourism at Qal'at al-Bahrain Fortress, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Through the survey trip, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Phan Huy Ngoc and the Provincial Delegation learned about Bahrain's tourism development perspective focusing on development in the direction of "culture - resort - entertainment - sports"; experiences in preserving and maintaining cultural values, ancient architecture and indigenous cultural identity to promote, promote and attract tourists to Bahrain.

From there, it is possible to study and apply Bahrain's good practices so that Tuyen Quang can continue to exploit the brand "World's Leading Cultural Destination" of Dong Van Karst Plateau Global Geopark and the unique heritage and cultural potentials to promote the province's tourism development in the coming time.
