The Tree Of Life In Bahrain

The Tree of Life (Sharajat-al-Hayat) in Bahrain is a 400 year-old mesquite tree which lives in the middle of the desert. The mystery of the survival of the tree has made it a legend. A legend is also attached to the place where the tree is located. The local inhabitants believe with heart and soul that this was the actual location of the Garden of Eden.

The Tree of Life stands lonely in the heart of the desert, on top of a 25-foot-high sandy hill. It's a mystery where the tree gets its water. Scientist say that its roots go very deep and wide to get water from the reserves of sweet springs miles away.
