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 in 2024 and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.

Planning to go back next month.

Cheers

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

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

Quick question — how was the ATM situation?

First time was a learning experience. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $150/day all-in.

My tip: midweek is much better.
