Sharajat-al-Hayat, or the Tree of Life, is a 400-year-old mesquite tree standing i the desert two kilometers from Jebel Dukhan in Bahrain. Local inhabitants believe it to be the site of the original Garden of Eden. See many pictures of the tree and its surroundings at Triggerpit. Link -via the Presurfer

I'm sure a lot of people want their backyard to be the location of the fabled garden of eden if it brings in the tourists. 400 years old is impressive though.
