British Airways flights to Bahrain land at Bahrain International Airport, just
four miles north of Bahrain's capital city Manama. On the way into
Manama after flights land you'll pass the UNESCO-listed Qalat
al-Bahrain mound, topped by a Portuguese fort. Later on, stretch your legs
around Bronze Age excavations in Saar. Then haggle for gold or cool off in
Bahrain's clear waters. Before your flights home, enjoy local Bahraini fish
dishes.
Travel to/from Bahrain
After your flights land in Bahrain, you can hop straight onto your hotel shuttle
bus for the 15-minute journey into Bahrain's capital,
Manama. If you take a taxi after your flight, make sure its meter is
switched on. Take a shared taxi, or a dhowboat if you're heading to Bahrain's islands. Bahrain is
notorious for its traffic problems so leave plenty of time to catch your return
flights from Bahrain.
Best of Bahrain
Start by exploring the ancient civilisation of Dilmun before trying fresh fish
from the Gulf and gahwa coffee in the Adliya and Juffair areas
of Bahrain's capital. Then see falcons taking flights around
Bahrain's desert-filled inland. Before flights home from Bahrain pick up
pottery from A'ali, haggle with the weavers of Bani Jamra or
splash out in the 21st-century malls of Manama. Take home Bahrain's
rare natural pearls from the waters off Bahrain's coast or buy gold and
textiles from Bahrain's souk markets. As a rule when you're
haggling in Bahrain, only pay around a third of the asking price.
