While plenty of tourists are heading for the likes of Dubai and Qatar on their next vacation, Bahrain proves to be a hidden gem in the Arabian Gulf. With a highly tolerant culture that offers locals and tourists complete freedom, here are some of the main reasons why you should make Bahrain your next travel destination.

It’s The Home Of Multiple UNESCO World Heritage Sites

This small nation has a rich history which you can immerse yourself in with a visit to several ancient sites. Qal’at al-Bahrain is an ancient fort that has origins stretching back to 2,300 B.C., while the Dilmun Burial Mounds provide an insight into the culture of one of the Middle East’s oldest civilizations.

Culinary Delights

This country is filled with scrumptious food, ranging from its Khubz flatbread to falafel, Keema (minced meat), and Bahraini machboos (spiced chicken and rice). There is also a wide array of authentic international dishes to make for a diverse food tour.

Formula 1

If you’re looking for a sports vacation package, or more specifically Formula 1, then Bahrain may just be the destination for you. Every year, the nation hosts the Bahrain Grand Prix at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir. When you’re not unwinding on Bahrain’s golden beaches, enjoy the thrill of witnessing the world’s highest level of racing in person.

Yoga retreats have become extremely popular over the last couple of years, and you’re probably wondering why. Yoga retreats have many benefits, from socialization to improving yoga skills, and they’re suitable for anyone who likes yoga. Here are just a few reasons why every yogi should go to a yoga retreat at least once.

Improve Yoga Skills

First and foremost, the main reason why people love yoga retreats is because this is the best place where you can advance your yoga skills. Exercising for a few hours every day will help you get a deeper understanding of this practice.

Travel

If you like to travel and explore new places, this is one more reason why you should embark on this adventure. Most yoga retreats are based in wonderful locations and often include excursions and sightseeing, so it’s a good opportunity to see new places.

Make Friends

Going on a yoga retreat is a unique experience because you’ll get to meet a lot of like-minded people who share the same passion and, of course, you can make new friends.

Relax

Yoga retreats are usually about spending more time outside and reconnecting with nature. That’s why this is the perfect weekend getaway that you can use to meditate and relax.

There’s never a bad time to dream of skiing adventures, even when the summer is about to start. The ski season will open eventually again in Europe, so let’s take a look at some of the most interesting resorts Switzerland has to offer.

Zermatt

This is the highest resort in the Alpes area, with summits as high as 3,900 meters. Other than the usual facilities, the ski resorts here offer guests a GPS app to help them navigate between the different tracks.

St. Moritz

This is a classic and perhaps most known as the luxury location for a ski vacation. The village has already hosted the Winter Olympics twice, and the facilities are state of the art. Don’t be surprised to find some world leaders and celebrities skiing on the same slopes as you.

Davos

Known mostly for the yearly economic summit, Davos is also a great place to ski in. The local resorts have more than 300 kilometers of different pistes (the longest is more than 13 kilometers long!), so you’ll never get bored.

Verbier

This place is the perfect location for experienced skiers and less suitable for beginners. It has the steepest descents in Europe, which is obviously an attraction for many of the world’s professional skiers.

Horse racing season in the United States is just around the corner. The U.S. has long been a hotspot for this sport which continues to grow in popularity thanks to its relaxed vibe and its status as a social event. If you have ever thought about checking out the American horse racing scene, don’t skip these three fantastic venues.

Churchill Downs

Louisville, Kentucky’s Churchill Grounds is the home of the Kentucky Derby and probably the most famous horse racing venue on Earth. The Derby typically packs in nearly 175,000 people in late spring, while other races throughout the year offer other opportunities to experience this park.

Pimlico Race Course

Baltimore, Maryland hosts the Pimlico Race Course, another Triple Crown venue in which the Preakness Stakes takes place every year. Hosting around two dozen events per year, the event combines music, racing, and drinks.

Belmont Park

The final race track and the third of the Triple Crown venues which you must see in the United States is Belmont Park, located on Long Island just east of Queens. The big city environment as this racetrack holding over 100,000 spectators is unforgettable.

Are you a fan of basketball? If so, you might want to add the state of Indiana in the midwestern United States to your list of places to visit. James Naismith, the founder of basketball, once said, “basketball really had its origin in Indiana, which remains the center of the sport”, proving just how important it is in the Hoosier State. If you head to Indiana to check out its basketball scene, don’t miss seeing a game in these three spots.

Bankers Life Fieldhouse

The Indianapolis home of the NBA’s Indiana Pacers, this arena which seats nearly 18,000 fans is one of the most intense places to see a game in professional basketball. Loud and passionate fans decked in blue and yellow have cheered on legends like Reggie Miller and Rik Smits throughout the years.

Hinkle Fieldhouse

College basketball is also a huge deal in Indiana, and Hinkle Fieldhouse is another Indianapolis spot that can’t be missed. The former home of the world-famous Indiana High School Basketball Tournament and the current home of the Butler Bulldogs, this century-old arena is equal parts old school and cool.

Assembly Hall

Arguably the most passionately-supported team in all of Indiana is the Indiana University Hoosiers, who have won 5 National Championships in the men’s college ranks. Over 17,000 fans pack into Assembly Hall for most games to cheer on their team in Bloomington.

The Land Down Under has a huge obsession with sports, whether it is basketball or Australian rules football, a sport that can be described as a sort of mix between American football in rugby. In fact, Australian rules football is the most popular sport in the country and there are a number of venues that visitors can check out to get a taste of this unique game and its passionate fans. These three grounds are a must-visit for anyone looking to get familiar with this cool sport.

Adelaide Oval

Built in 1871 and remodeled this century to stunning results, the Adelaide Oval is used for Australian rules football and is one of the most picturesque grounds in the country. Here, up to 55,000 fans crowd the stands to cheer on Adelaide and Port Adelaide, the city’s two major teams.

Optus Stadium (Perth)

Are you a fan of modern, sleek stadiums? If so, the Optus Stadium in the largest city in Western Australia is one that you will not want to miss. Fremantle and the West Coast Eagles pack the fans into this venue on the banks of the Swan River.

Sydney Cricket Ground

Don’t let its name deceive you—the Sydney Cricket Ground is also used as one of the most venerable Australian rules football venues that you can find anywhere. The country’s biggest city provides fans with a stunning backdrop that’s nearly 200 years old to see a game.

Basketball is one of America’s most popular and, without a doubt, its most global sport. After being invented in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1891 by James Naismith, this sport now has a world-class museum and Hall of Fame named for its founder in the city where the sport was born.

Located only 90 minutes from Boston in Western Massachusetts, you will find the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in downtown Springfield on the banks of the Connecticut River.

The newest incarnation of the Hall of Fameת opened in 2002, hosts a treasure trove of historical artifacts and exhibitions dedicated to the history of the sport, its best players, and the teams and coaches who have changed the game.

You will find jerseys and shoes from players such as Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson in the hallowed halls of this museum, where it is possible to get lost for hours and hours.

The cherry on top of your tour is the last stop at the museum’s “Center Court,” where you will have the opportunity to play on a court inside the Hall of Fame and play with real NBA basketballs and feel inspired after learning about so many of the game’s heroes.

In short, any basketball fan owes it to himself or herself to make a stop at this one-of-a-kind Massachusetts attraction!

Address: 1000 Hall of Fame Ave, Springfield, MA 01105, United States

Spain is the home of some of the most famous clubs in the world of soccer, as well as some of its most loyal and passionate fans. While clubs like FC Barcelona and Real Madrid might be the most famous ones, there is a wealth of passion and soccer culture to be discovered beyond those two giants.

Have you ever thought about planning a soccer-centric trip to Spain? If so, don’t pass up the chance to visit these three stadiums and catch a game to feel the country’s passion for the game.

San Mames (Athletic Club)

Athletic Club’s San Mames Stadium is the home of Bilbao’s Athletic Club and is often known as “The Temple” due to its sleekness and elegance. Here, over 50,000 rabid Athletic supporters gather to cheer on their team, one of Spain’s best and most historic clubs.

Benito Villamarin (Real Betis)

Real Betis is one of the two main teams in the large Andalusian city of Sevilla, and it definitely has one of the craziest and most passionate fan bases around. Viewed as the “little brother” in Sevilla, their fans have a chip on their shoulder and show up en masse to scream and support their club.

Mestalla (Valencia CF)

Valencia is the home of Valencia CF and the historic Mestalla Stadium, one of Spain’s best-known soccer venues. You’ll be amazed at the North Stand’s extreme steepness and the cozy dimensions of the lower sections, which allow loud fans to get up close and personal with players.

Buenos Aires, Argentina is the capital of South American soccer. The home of so many storied clubs like Racing, River Plate, and Boca Juniors and the place where stars like Maradona have shined is a must-visit for soccer fans who are looking to get to know the beautiful game.

The stadiums of Buenos Aires hold the essence of the city’s soccer culture, and you have to make a stop at these three while in the city.

La Bombonera

La Bombonera is the home of Boca Juniors, and it sees one of the most passionate fan bases in the entire sport scream and shout to support their beloved team every weekend. Loud, compact, and intense—you can also visit the club’s museum here if you can’t see a match.

El Monumental

River Plate, Boca Juniors’ eternal rival, has its stadium about 10 miles from its rival’s and boasts one of the biggest and most famous stadiums on Earth. El Monumental holds over 70,000 crazy fans and also had the designation of hosting the 1978 FIFA World Cup final between Argentina and the Netherlands.

El Cilindro de Avellaneda

Escaping the center of Buenos Aires, another historic club in the area is Racing Club de Avellaneda, whose El Cilindro Stadium is another soccer Mecca in the area. This circular-shaped stadium is an unforgettable place to see a match.

Basketball is one of America’s most popular and, without a doubt, its most global sport. After being invented in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1891 by James Naismith, this sport now has a world-class museum and Hall of Fame named for its founder in the city where the sport was born.

Located only 90 minutes from Boston in Western Massachusetts, you will find the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in downtown Springfield on the banks of the Connecticut River.

The newest incarnation of the Hall of Fameת opened in 2002, hosts a treasure trove of historical artifacts and exhibitions dedicated to the history of the sport, its best players, and the teams and coaches who have changed the game.

You will find jerseys and shoes from players such as Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson in the hallowed halls of this museum, where it is possible to get lost for hours and hours.

The cherry on top of your tour is the last stop at the museum’s “Center Court,” where you will have the opportunity to play on a court inside the Hall of Fame and play with real NBA basketballs and feel inspired after learning about so many of the game’s heroes.

In short, any basketball fan owes it to himself or herself to make a stop at this one-of-a-kind Massachusetts attraction!

Address: 1000 Hall of Fame Ave, Springfield, MA 01105, United States
Hours: Thursday-Sunday, 10 am to 4 pm

Spain is the home of some of the most famous clubs in the world of soccer, as well as some of its most loyal and passionate fans. While clubs like FC Barcelona and Real Madrid might be the most famous ones, there is a wealth of passion and soccer culture to be discovered beyond those two giants.

San Mames (Athletic Club)

Athletic Club’s San Mames Stadium is the home of Bilbao’s Athletic Club and is often known as “The Temple” due to its sleekness and elegance. Here, over 50,000 rabid Athletic supporters gather to cheer on their team, one of Spain’s best and most historic clubs.

Benito Villamarin (Real Betis)

Real Betis is one of the two main teams in the large Andalusian city of Sevilla, and it definitely has one of the craziest and most passionate fan bases around.

La Bombonera

La Bombonera is the home of Boca Juniors, and it sees one of the most passionate fan bases in the entire sport scream and shout to support their beloved team every weekend. Loud, compact, and intense—you can also visit the club’s museum here if you can’t see a match.

El Monumental

River Plate, Boca Juniors’ eternal rival, has its stadium about 10 miles from its rival’s and boasts one of the biggest and most famous stadiums on Earth.
