Elder Isa and Frantisek Nabilik's Tale Draws European Interest
The article focuses on the visit of the European botanist František Nábělek to Bahrain in February 1910, which is considered one of the most significant scientific expeditions in the country during the reign of Isa bin Ali Al Khalifa. Nábělek collected and documented plant specimens from Bahrain, recording a total of 6,465 plant samples, which included 78 species, 69 varieties, and 38 new forms that were previously unknown. His visit was made possible by the safe and stable environment established by the country's ruler, turning Bahrain into a prominent scientific center at that time. Nábělek’s research continued afterward, and the results of his expedition contributed to enhancing understanding of Bahrain’s history and its plant life. His records remain an important reference for studying the region’s botanical diversity over a century ago. The article demonstrates that his visit highlights Bahrain’s role as an open area for scientific exploration, its investment in natural resources, and its position as a research hub, as well as emphasizing the legacy of the botanist and his contributions to documenting Bahrain’s environment.
