Q: When to Visit Bahrain?

The best time to visit Bahrain is from November to April when the weather is nice and mild, with temperatures averaging between 15 to 25 degrees Celsius (59 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit). Winter is awesome in Bahrain because you can explore places both in the city and out in the desert without sweating buckets. Trust me, you will sweat buckets if you decide to visit Bahrain outside of the recommended period. The temperature will be around 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), and, to make matters worse, extreme humidity is all but guaranteed. I'm from Thailand, and I still find the summer months in this part of the world unbearable. So, avoid it at all costs.

Question 2

How to Get Around Bahrain?

Accepted Answer

The best way to get around Bahrain is to either rent a car and drive yourself or go on this organized tour that will take you to all the places I mentioned in this travel guide, all in one day.

Public transportation in Manama is not great and is nonexistent when you go out of the city, so it is best to rent your own car or go on a tour to explore Bahrain.

Question 3

How to Get from Bahrain Airport to the City Center and vice versa?

Accepted Answer

You can take the A1 or A2 bus to get from the airport to the city center. The bus will take you to Manama Bus Terminal, and then you can use Uber to go further. The bus costs around 0.3 BHD per trip, and you can pay directly to the bus driver if you have the exact change.

Catching an Uber directly from the airport costs a minimum of 6 BHD. Therefore, if you are staying near the city center, it might be more economical to take the bus from the airport and then call an Uber from another location. Catching an Uber from the city center back to the airport should cost around 4 BHD.
