Tree of Life

The Tree of Life (Arabic: شجرة الحياة‎; transliterated: Shajarat al-Hayah) is a 400-year old mesquite tree in Bahrain that is considered a natural wonder.^[1] This unique tree stands alone in the desert about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the Jebel Dukhan, the highest point in Bahrain.^[2]

The source of water for this tree remains a mystery because it stands in a place completely free of water.^[3].

The tree is mentioned in the movie L.A. Story.^[4]
