The Tree of Life (Shajarat-al-Hayat) in Bahrain is a 400 year-old, 32 feet high North American mesquite tree located 1.2 miles or 2 kilometers away from Jebel Dukhan. The tree stands lonely in the heart of desert, on top of a 25-foot-high sandy hill. Mesquite trees are extremely well adapted to arid environments with one of the deepest known root systems (even over 160 feet deep). [1]
The tree is mentioned in the movie L.A. Story.[2]
