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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there 6 months ago and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

First time was a learning experience. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

Different experience for me. Prices were lower when I went.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.
