The Seasonal Shift: When Do Tourists Visit the Aali Burial Mounds in Bahrain?

Data visualization often reveals the "heartbeat" of a location. In the case of the Aali Burial Mounds—a centerpiece of Bahrain’s Dilmun-era history—that heartbeat is intensely seasonal. While the "Summer Slump" is a known factor in the Gulf, the 2025 data tells a story of unprecedented volatility and a record-breaking winter recovery.

Key Insights from the Data

  • The Absolute Low: In September 2025, the mounds saw just 3 visitors. This represents the extreme "trough" of the seasonal cycle, where outdoor heritage sites battle the peak of the summer heat.
  • The Record Peak: By December 2025, footfall surged to 247 visitors. This is not just a seasonal return; it is a 174% increase over the 90 visitors recorded in December 2024.
  • The Velocity of Change: Between September and December, the site experienced an 8,133% increase in monthly traffic.
