7 days in Bahrain Itinerary

Bahrain's capital and largest city, Manama serves as a commercial and financial hub, keeping pace with other Gulf capitals dominating this part of the world.

Visiting Al Dar Islands and Royal Camel Farm will get you outdoors. Get out of town with these interesting Manama side-trips: Al Areen Wildlife Park & Reserve (in Zallaq), King Fahd Causeway (in Saar) and Royal Golf Club (in Riffa). There's much more to do: take in the spiritual surroundings of Al-Fatih Mosque (Great Mosque), join the crowd at Bahrain International Circuit, examine the collection at Beit Al Qur'an, and get engrossed in the history at Bahrain National Museum.

To see where to stay, other places to visit, photos, and other tourist information, you can read our Manama planner.

If you are flying in from Saudi Arabia, the closest major aiport is Bahrain International Airport. December in Manama sees daily highs of °C and lows of °C at night. Finish up your sightseeing early on the 3rd (Thu) so you can travel back home.
