The Tree of Life (Arabic: شجرة الحياة; transliterated: Shajarat al-Hayah) is a 400 year old tree, probably a Prosopis cineraria (Mesquite),[1] in Bahrain that is considered a natural wonder.[2] This unique tree stands alone in the desert about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the Jebel Dukhan, the highest point in Bahrain.[3]
The source of water for this tree remains a mystery because it stands in a place completely free of water.[4].
The tree is mentioned in the movie L.A. Story.[5]
