Bahrain Travel Internal
AIR: Several flights a week leave from Bahrain International
Airport for other destinations within Bahrain. For further details, contact
a local travel or tour operator.
SEA: Transport between the smaller islands is by motorboat
or dhow. For details, contact local travel agents.
ROAD: Manama is served by an excellent
road system, largely created during the last few years. Traffic drives
on the right. Road signs are written in English and Arabic. Bus: Routes
now serve most of the towns and villages, with a standard fare of 50 fils.
Taxi: Metered taxis are readily available. They can be hired in the street
or from stands outside hotels and at major tourist attractions. They are
identifiable by their orange side-wings and yellow number plates. Between
2200-0600, the minimum fare is BD1200. Taxis waiting outside hotels may
charge more. Share-taxis which carry up to five passengers are also available.
These are recognisable by a yellow circle with the licence number in black
painted on the driver’s door and by their white and orange number
plates. There are several designated pick-up points. Meters are not used
and fares should always be agreed beforehand. Radio cabs are also available.
Car hire: Most of the major international car hire companies operate in
Bahrain with representatives at the airport and at big hotels. Traffic
regulations: Speed restrictions are in place: 100kph (60mph) on highways
and between 50-80kph (30-50mph) on all other roads. Documentation: An
International Driving Permit is necessary (must be obtained prior to arrival)
and must be endorsed by the Traffic and Licensing Directorate.
