 28 Reviews  The National Museum is a very well laid out and thoughful look at the history of Bahrain from the time of Dilmun up to the present day. I spent about 3 hours there going from exhibit to exhibit. It has a fascinating exhibit showing reassembled burial mounds from the A'ali burial mound complex. You...

 9 Reviews  This is an ALERT to Parents of minors!!! Most clubs in Bahrain allow minors to enter , as well to drink alcohol, mingle and dance with adults. I have been to most of them to check how did my 16 year old manage to get in . My husband and I found out that sometimes places like LATIN QUARTERS, don't...

 5 Reviews  In the Arab Gulf men kiss their friends on the cheeks but not women. Women do greet women with kisses on the cheeks but not men. Arabs take pride in their cars and homes. If an Arab man invites you to his home be prepared to have segregated living rooms i.e. one for men and one for women though not... 

 9 Reviews  The previous tips mention the problem of taxis overcharging in Bahrain. However, just recently (end of 2008), all taxis have to put on their meters when accepting a fare and if they don't, the ride is free. They all have a sticker on the window saying this now. There are still ways of adding... 

 6 Reviews  Again - another hint for tourists - rather than a trap. Go to the tourist office/ handicraft shop located at 'bab al bahrain' (translation: gateway to bahrain) and ask for tourist information. I went this morning and came out with 8 useful pamphlets, a decent tourist map and a lovely hard back book... 

 4 Reviews  Basically anything you want you can buy in bahrain. It’s probably best for me to talk about what you should buy whilst you’re here to take back home. 1 - 22 carat gold is sold by the gram here, which means they'll weigh the jewellery on scales to tell you the price. Gold usually sits around US$10 a...

 2 Reviews  While you won't find the wonderful scenic park runs available in most US cities, there is a decent little park and a few empty construction sites you can run through along the waterfront. You can get in an 8 mile run (4 each way) without having to cross any streets. Start at the Ritz Carlton Hotel... 

 16 Reviews  Like in all Muslim nations, Friday is the holy day of the week in Bahrain. This means that many shops will be closed and services unavailable on that day. In addition, many shops will also close at midday on Thursday and not reopen until Saturday. The only day that we spent in Bahrain happened to be...
