Given the geographic conditions of Bahrain, it is not strange that an ancient culture dedicated a tempel to Enki, God of freshwater.
When I went to visit the temple, I took a bus from Manama. Since I was not allowed to sit next to a woman, I had to stand most of the 20 minute ride because there was no free seat on the men's benches. After walking some ten minutes from the busstop, I arrived at an open space where, according to a sign, I could find the ruins. A man who was sleeping on a bed woke up, put up a cap and intruced himself as the guide to the complex.
