At Barbar is a complex of three temples that date from 3000 to 2000 BC. It is thought the temples are dedicated to Enki, the God of Wisdom and the Sweet Waters under the Earth. There are walkways through the site, which offer excellent views of the excavated ruins.

Barbar is about 10 km (6 mi) west of Manama and can be reached by bus. You will have to get off at the ad Diraz Temple and then walk to Barbar. This walk will take about 30 minutes.
