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
- Transport tips
I was there a while back and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Colombia.
Cheers

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.
