Just returned from 14 days in Bahrain. Overall a great trip.
Stayed near the main area, hotel was about $45/night. Clean and walking distance to everything.
The scene is buzzing. Prices were slightly higher than last time compared to my last visit.
Girls were friendly and attractive. Had 10 encounters total.
Food was cheap and delicious. Street food was incredible.
Will definitely return. Happy to answer questions.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.
