Distance and timing basis
The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: planning record, not independently verified geometry.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distances and riding times are planning figures. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Qal’at al-Bahrain - Ancient Harbour and Ca
Qal'at al-Bahrain is a hill, and the hill is made of cities. For about four thousand years, people have built on this spot on the north coast of Bahrain, and every generation has laid its houses and walls on top of the one before, until the mound, called a tell, rose over the surrounding palm gardens. Archaeologists have peeled back the layers to find the capital of the Dilmun civilisation, a trading power of the Bronze Age that linked Mesopotamia with the Indus valley, with Bahrain as the entrepot where copper, pearls, timber and grain changed hands. UNESCO listed the site in 2005.
