These trees at Bahrain’s Zallaq beach on the country’s Southern shores present a rather desolate and depressing look on a hot but windy summer afternoon. Perhaps Bahrain’s only piece of land that resembles a regular beach, Zallaq is visited by hundreds of people every weekend who come there to get a feeling of being “at one” with the vast waters of the Arabian Gulf.
The authorities are now taking steps to further develop the area by setting up special facilities for picnickers as well as other visitors. Several chalets, which are rented out on a daily basis, have already come up while other infrastructure coming up.
Perhaps these trees will begin to “green” to co-incide with the conclusion of those plans!
