Bahrain Travel Blogs

Time to go on to my next destinations: Dubai. Since a few years I really wanted to visit this amazing place. Now I’m waiting at the airport of Bahrain for my next flight GF 544, 15.40 to Abu Dhabi. Just one thing is so annoying, each 5 minutes they are calling the flights and all that stuff. Impo…

On the first day, Lorna, Lucy and I woke up to rain.  Really, rain.  I go to a desert, and it rains.  Golly, golly gosh.  So we decided to go and look for the Tree of Life, one of the few things in Bahrain I knew about before I went.  We were, of course, warned about how ha…

First of all, if you try to find this place on the map you won't find it. As we are still building it. This is one of the largest Reclamation projects that the company has ever done. The picture only represents 1 half of the project, the other half is still being designed and approved. So double th…

  Our four engines streamed vapor trails southeast from Germany to cross several eastern European countries and intercept the northern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. Distant islands off the right wing probably belonged to Greece. We skirted the Black Sea and I saw what might have been the mo…

Today now marks 12 days to go before my european adventure begins. So to keep myself motivated, and to build up some more spirit to last another few days at work, I started to double check if I had the basics for my trip. As if I wasn't counting the days already ;)

Bahrain is a very passive country, there are many cultures and religions reflected in the democratic atmosphere of the cities, and you would feel at ease to be your self. It has many places to enjoy, watch and have fun with friends such as sea sports, beaches, coffee shops; restaurants, cinema…

On our way to Amman, Jordan, we had a 3-hour layover in Manama, Bahrain. Before this trip I had never even heard of this country! In their English-language newspaper, I learned that little Bahrain is striving to build tourism akin to Dubai levels (they better start building crazy shit like islands …

Thanks to Gulf Air we make another unscheduled stop in Bahrain.  This time it is a long wait and we were offered the possibility of a hotel room in Bahrain courtesy of the airline but decide it isn't worth the effort of leaving the airport in the heat and then stopping for a short few hours be…

i was only in bahrain for one night but found it has a lot to offer. i live in kuwait and well cant drink here. so a 45 min flight to bahrain and you have a city with many different people to party with.i didnt make it out to party but heard many stories on the way back.have a few pictures of the huge mall called central city mall over 300 stores.they had a little concert there few pics of them. alot of new buildings just like kuwait. they are not as rich but still not poor

Well that is Bahrain done and dusted. I had a good time and met some really nice students but I was simply not moved to go and see anything and the tourist board really did not inspire me. So...sorry no real blog entry...but I am now in Jordan and it is anything but dull...I am working for the next…

8 Hours stop over! What a xmass night! But lucky (or maybe unlucky) me I have to come into de country for the checkin...my feet on MIDDLE EAST!

I am so glad i don't have to do a trip like this again with a small child. Its not due to the long hours of flying but that i had to have her on my lap. Gosh made things really uncomfortable and since i am restless as it is this sure didn't make things better. :) We left Oslo and headed for the air…

Monsoons, great views and great Asian variety cusine.  excellent place to take that special other or just a nice place to eat, you will not be disappointed.  

First time in Bahrain and I wasn't really sure what's ahead of me. The purpose of the trip was to see my then-boyfriend (now ex obviously lol) who moved to Bahrain a couple of months before this trip. That was in June 05, mid-summer, it was so hot that my mind just couldn't be bothered to…

Hello all,Yes I know I have a problem.  I had this nice little trip to Dubai planned, and then I had to make it more complicated by adding on a side trip to Oman to the end of it.  Then I realized how close I was to Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait.  But only really having six days here makes it reall…
