Manama Sightseeing in Manama, Bahrain
Posted: Thu April 17, 2008 12:51 PM UTC
I'll be going for my home leave vacation this June with my family.
My flight from Saudi will stop over Bahrain for more than 8 hours.
is it possible for us to go out of the terminal and go for sightseeing in Manamah? Is Manama an open city like Hong Kong?

Hope to hear some tips on this matter.

Thanks in Advance.

The best advice I can give you, first look if you can get a visa inside Bahrain. I know European Nationals get visa at the airport.

Here is the Bahrain E-visa website

https://www.evisa.gov.bh/VISA/VisaInput.jsp?A0S=a

Bahrain is a very open nations & only advise many people told me on VT is be careful of taxi drives in Bahrain, make sure you tell them to use the taxi-meters.

Here is the other Bahrain web site with info.

I Personnel have not been to Bahrain but many of friends have.

Take care

I think you need a visa, but you can come and see the place. You can check the list of interesting places on the "Whats on" section of Gulf DAily News newspaper
