Over 3 days and 2 nights, Bahrain Stopover combines a stay in a carefully selected 4 star hotel, airport transfers and a guided day dedicated to discovering Manama and its surroundings. Ancient history, local culture, traditions and contemporary architecture come together in an itinerary designed to offer an authentic first glimpse of Bahrain, while keeping a comfortable pace for a short stay. A balanced and flexible package, ideal for making the most of a stop in the Gulf and turning it into an opportunity to discover a destination that has the power to surprise.
Day 1: Arrival in Bahrain
Arrival at Bahrain International Airport, welcome assistance and transfer to your hotel. Accommodation will be provided at a 4 star hotel from the Bahrain Travellers Club selection. Depending on your arrival time, the rest of the day will be free for you to relax after your journey, begin exploring Manama independently or enjoy optional visits and activities.
Included meals and services: airport to hotel transfer and overnight stay.
Day 2: Manama, history, culture and modern life
After breakfast at the hotel, meet your guide and depart for Manama Highlights, the tour included in the package, discovering the places that best represent the history, culture and contemporary side of the capital.
The day begins at Al Fateh Grand Mosque, the largest mosque in Bahrain and one of the Kingdom's main places of worship. During the visit, you will have the opportunity to learn more about Islamic culture and admire its impressive architecture, created using materials sourced from different parts of the world.
Continue to the Bahrain National Museum for a journey through the history of the island and the civilizations that have shaped its identity. Its archaeological and cultural collections provide a valuable introduction to the origins of the country, its traditions and its heritage.
The tour continues to Qal'at al-Bahrain (Bahrain Fort), one of the Kingdom's most important archaeological sites and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Closely connected to the ancient Dilmun civilization, the site preserves evidence of the different periods and civilizations that developed on the island over the centuries.
You will then reach Bab Al Bahrain and Manama Souq, in the historic heart of the capital. Here you will have free time to walk among shops, spices, perfumes, fabrics and local products, do some shopping or stop for lunch. With the group tour option, lunch is at your own expense and your guide will be available for suggestions and recommendations.
The final part of the tour is dedicated to The Avenues and Bahrain Bay, one of the most enjoyable areas of contemporary Manama. Simply describing The Avenues as a shopping mall would not do it justice. Stretching along the waterfront, it feels almost like an elegant covered city avenue, ideal for walking and spending time away from the hottest temperatures or the wind during the winter months. You can relax at one of the cafes or restaurants overlooking the bay, enjoy some shopping or simply take in the views of the modern city skyline. If you would like to see Manama from a different perspective, you can also add an approximately 20 minute boat ride around Bahrain Bay and admire the city skyline directly from the water.
At the end of the tour, return to the hotel. The rest of the day will be free for you to continue exploring independently or enjoy optional activities.
Included meals and services: breakfast, guided tour, transportation included during the tour and overnight stay.
Optional extras: boat ride around Bahrain Bay and other optional activities.
Day 3: Free time and departure
After breakfast at the hotel, depending on your flight schedule, you will have some free time to continue exploring Manama independently, enjoy some shopping or choose from optional visits and activities. At the scheduled time, transfer to Bahrain International Airport for your return flight or to continue to your next destination.
