Education
Nuwat is passionate about providing positive educational experiences for all members of society from children, teenagers and adults. We embrace the concept of experiential learning to immerse students in practical experiences fostering a deeper connection to the natural world. We do this through our field expeditions, hands on workshops and webinars to enable those that can’t join us on site to benefit.
We aim to foster an interactive and dynamic learning environment to enable all life-long students to actively engage with the educational material, apply various theoretical knowledge to real-world situations through on-ground experiences that will enable them to develop essential skills that will serve them and the world beyond the learning capsule.

Rocky Intertidal Ecology | Sheikh Ibrahim Island
Our rocky intertidal ecology course takes you away from the mainland to a very small island that holds a unique blend of cultural and natural heritage. Discover the fascinating zone that bridges land and sea, the species that live in this in-between zone, their importance and role, the extreme environmental challenges that they face every day and the fascinating adaptation strategies that they have adopted to be able to live in this zone!
I had an amazing time on the Sheikh Ibrahim Island field visit with Nuwat! The whole day was so well organised, I knew exactly what to expect, and the team made me feel very welcomed from the start. The Nuwat team is super passionate and knowledgeable. They made everything so easy to understand, even though I don’t have a science background. I learned so much about Bahrain’s history and its incredible biodiversity. It was also great to meet other people who are passionate about the environment. Highly recommend their courses to anyone curious about nature!

Wild Flora
Are you ready to ditch the ordinary and explore a wilder side of Bahrain? Come with us on a walk through the open lands of Bahrain islands and discover the diverse terrestrial flora ecosystems of our Kingdom. Learn about how flora in this region adapt to their harsh environment and how various flora species are used by local communities.
The Wild Flora Hiking Excursion opened my eyes and all the other senses to the rich diversity of plant and insect life hidden in plain sight. We explored the landscape around Saar Temple and Burial Mounds. What looked to be dried up weeds growing crusted sand turned out to be a treasure trove of plants rich in nutritional and medicinal properties and also beauty products! I was intrigued to learn that so many of the plants had counterparts in temperate regions but looked different because of their adaptation to the desert conditions. These adaptations are important for us to recognize and keep in mind as we navigate climate breakdown. This hike was very well structured and planned out. It was hands on, complete with magnifying glasses and identification photos and descriptions. I appreciated the expertise and the passion – it was a science-culture-history-mythology-language workshop! It is rare to find such an integrated and wholistic perspective, but the Nuwat team leaders complement each other’s expertise and also welcoming sharing from the participants which allowed us all to learn so much more. I would also like to acknowledge that Team Nuwat (leaders and assistants) were professional, knowledgeable, accommodating, and caring. It was truly a pleasure to learn from them and I look forward to future adventures that expand my knowledge and cultivates my love for Bahrain.
