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
- Transport tips
I was there last year and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Germany.
Cheers

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

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

I was there in last month and prices were great value. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.
