Bahrain, Manama world trade centre

Book Flights to Bahrain

Just off the eastern coast of Saudi Arabia in the Persian Gulf, you'll find Bahrain, a small but prosperous nation of more than 30 islands. Bahrain Island makes up 80% of the country's total landmass, with Manama, its capital city, sitting on the north coast of the island.

Bahrain was once a major centre for pearl diving and trade due to its strategic location, however today, it's a modern metropolis made up of skyscrapers, luxurious shopping malls and high-end hotels. While you're visiting, you might be interested in learning more about Bahrain's history through its many forts and museums, or get stuck into the culture with its colourful, lively markets.

If you want to step away from the city, you won't have to travel far to find rest and relaxation on Bahrain's immaculate beaches where you can go diving or snorkelling. You might even be lucky enough to spot coral reefs and marine life!

Discover Manama

When visiting Bahrain, you'll likely be flying into Manama, the capital city of the nation. It's best described as a modern city with a cosmopolitan atmosphere. Manama's skyline is decorated with tall skyscrapers, but at street level, you will find plenty of high-end shops, restaurants and hotels. It's also got a growing nightlife scene - although Bahrain is an Islamic country, alcohol consumption is legal here, and the clubs and bars are popular with visitors from all over the world.

Despite its modernity, Manama also celebrates its country's traditions and culture - this is evident in Manama Souq, a traditional lively marketplace, and the Al Fateh Grand Mosque, which is one of the largest mosques in the world!

Reaching Manama isn't a challenge. Bahrain International Airport is the primary airport that serves the capital and its country, with many major carriers operating frequent routes and connecting it with the Middle East, Europe and Asia. If you're aiming to do a bit of sightseeing in Manama, the best time to visit is between December and March - the weather is pleasant, the days are long and chances of rainfall are slim to none.
