The 10 Best Things to do in Manama, Bahrain

March 24, 2022 Velvet Mowry

Manama, capital of the island nation of Bahrain, is a major financial center with a thriving economy. A surplus of money has decorated the skyline with glass and steel spires, and plans for the tallest tower in the world. Although Bahrain is an Islamic country, alcohol is legal, and Manama has a thriving nightlife, with clubs and bars popular with visitors from all over the world. The narrow rows of stalls at the Bab el-Bahrain souk are famous for their vast array of perfumes, spices, and gold.

Al-Fatih Mosque (Great Mosque)

Reviewed By SlabbyBelgium - Bornem, Belgium

We had read about this mosque and were not disappointed! This is a real marvel in all its facets when it comes to fine architecture. We had the luck of having of a wonderful guide who guided us around and explained us the history of Bahrain and its religion. Interesting! We were lucky that we arrived before a coach with other tourists entered the mosque so were able to take marvelous pictures. Always impressed when you one sees the grandeur of such buildings.... same in Moscat, Abu Dhabi, Mosta..... Think without religion in your mind and discover the beauty of these constructions!

Al Dar Islands

Reviewed By ScotBahrain

I've been several times each year for 3 years. My favourite Bahrain place to go. Ideal for friends or family visiting. Always phone in advance as in windy weather they cancel the boats. The rented houses (85 BD plus) great for a peaceful couple of days. Or rent the huts for 15 BD plus for larger ones. (For shade) You can take your own drinks & food. Bars there and small burger/BBQ restaurant does basic but decent food. Normal prices. Rent jet skis etc. Best days for peace & quite is weekdays. Friday DJ is noisy but you can move to the huts at other parts of the island. Highly recommended. Kids & adults love the boat ride.

Royal Camel Farm

Welcome to the Royal Camel Farm, Bahrain. This farm is open every day from sunrise to sunset, with free entry and free parking on-site as well as washroom facilities. Please note that the camels with chains are males, and the reason for using the chains is to prevent them from otherwise killing each other to mate with the females. They are thus spaced equally apart so that other male camels are outside their bite reach. Female camels can be seen inside the pens where they are free to roam.

Reviewed By BH00973 - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

If you're visiting Bahrain for 2 or more days, you must visit this place as you will enjoy seeing camels and perhaps take some photos with them. I came here twice in 2 months, although I knew this place for a while, but I never decided to drop by until my friends came to visit me recently. I would say it's one of the most fun places to visit, although there is nothing to do but watching camels and taking some photos.
