Has anyone been to Bahrain recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there a while back and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Colombia.
Cheers

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?
