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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there last year and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

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

Different experience for me. Prices were about the same when I went.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.
