The Tree of Life in Bahrain, known locally as "Shajarat-al-Hayat," is a singular mesquite tree (Prosopis cineraria) that stands alone in the desert, around 10 kilometers from the nearest town of Zallaq. This remarkable tree is estimated to be over 400 years old and has puzzled scientists and visitors for decades. Despite being in an arid environment with no apparent water source, the Tree of Life continues to thrive, leading to various local legends and folklore regarding its resilience.
