Bahrain Weather

Bahrain is a subtropical destination, which means it enjoys fabulous weather all year round. During the summer months, temperatures of around 45°C can be expected. Staying cool is easy, however, with many indoor attractions being air conditioned. Bahrain is also a superb choice for a winter sun escape. Temperatures of around 25°C make this time of year ideal for exploring the sights, enjoying new activities and relaxing on the beach.

Things to do on a family holiday in Bahrain

If you’re visiting Bahrain with family, you’ll be delighted to know there’s plenty to keep both children and adults entertained right throughout your holiday.

The Lost Paradise of Dilum waterpark is the perfect place to find fun in the sun and stay cool at the same time. The biggest attraction of its kind in Bahrain, it features 20 fabulous slides, a lazy river and an artificial beach. With food and beverage outlets and chalets to rent, you’ll find everything you need for a sensational family day out.

Water sports are also in abundance, with paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing and jet skiing among the many activities to discover during your holiday in Bahrain. If you’re a family that likes a little healthy competition, Bahrain International Karting Circuit is a must-visit attraction, where you can take to the track to experience the thrill of go-karting.

Theme parks are also great for a holiday outing and Yabeela Bahrain is the destination of choice for those seeking excitement and entertainment the whole day through. This vast indoor venue delivers epic rides, roller coasters, games and adventure zones for all ages.

Magic Island is another option for theme park thrills, offering more than 100 attractions. Alternatively, you can take the family fun to new heights at Jumpoline trampoline park, or visit Gravity Indoor Sky Diving for an unforgettable adrenaline rush.

Little ones will love the chance to bounce around Hawa inflatable park, while interactive activities and adventures await at Madpark or Matrix. A visit to Ground Control is a must for any gamers, or put your puzzle-solving skills to the test to find your way out of Escape Code.

Things to do on a group holiday in Bahrain

Get ready to create unforgettable memories during your holiday in Bahrain, with no end to the phenomenal activities and attractions for you and your friends to enjoy. Action, excitement, fun and a little friendly competition all await.

High-speed thrills are on offer at Bahrain International Circuit, the home of the nation’s prestigious Grand Prix event. A trip to watch the race is a dream come true for motorsport fans, but if you can’t make it you can always put your own driving skills to the test at the venue’s Karting Circuit. Battle it out on the track with your besties, but try not to fall out over the result.

If you prefer a sport that’s a bit less frantic, a visit to The Royal Golf Club may be in order. Designed by golf superstar Colin Montgomerie, the 18-hole championship course offers an ideal location to tee off in the sun.

Water sports fanatics are also well catered for in Bahrain, with Bilaj al Jazayer Beach the place to go for jet skiing, snorkelling and boat trips. Cafes, food stalls and a BBQ stand are other amenities available, along with a bike path for anyone wishing to explore on two wheels.

Things to do on a couple's holiday in Bahrain

Those holidaying in Bahrain with that special someone will find an array of things to do, places to go and attractions to explore.

Enjoy a leisurely day of shopping at one of the modern malls, with luxury boutiques, global brands and independent stores all waiting to be discovered. Marassi Galeria is a superb place to indulge in a little retail therapy, offering everything from clothes to electronics, along with restaurants, a cinema, adventure park and aquarium. Its prime location by Marassi Beach also means you can enjoy some sun, sand and sea between spending sprees.

Seef Mall is another top spot to hit the shops, with other options including The Avenues and Al Liwan Mall.

Those couples craving an indulgent beach experience should seek out the slick and stylish surrounds of Cipriani Beach Club, on Marassi Beach. This elegant oceanfront destination features sunbeds, private cabanas and a pool,

with delicious Italian cuisine, refreshing beverages and live entertainment also on the menu.

You may prefer to immerse yourself in Bahrain’s beguiling culture and traditions. Seek out Bab Al Bahrain, the historic entrance to Manama Souq. Stroll hand-in-hand through the market place, one of the country’s oldest, enjoying a taste of authentic Bahraini life as you browse stalls selling colourful fabric, glistening gold, aromatic spices and irresistible cuisine.

Discover the secrets of the nation’s past at Bahrain National Museum, or walk along The Pearling Path to learn about the country’s pearl-trading heritage, exploring sites linked to the industry. For a unique experience, you can even dive beneath the waters of the Arabian Gulf in search of the precious gems. A visit to Bahrain Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a history of more than 4,000 years, is also a must for anyone with an interest in the past.

Beach holidays in Bahrain

Immaculate sugar-soft sands, glistening waters and cloudless blue skies make the island of Bahrain an ideal choice for a beach holiday.

Enjoy days of complete calm laid atop picture-perfect white, blonde or golden stretches of coastline, listening to the sound of the waves gently caressing the shore.

Alternatively, you can find a lively beachfront, where you can enjoy an assortment of amazing water sports or land activities.

For a laid-back day by the sea, Bilaj al Jazayer Beach, on Bahrain’s south west coast, is the ideal spot.

This 3 km stretch offers clear, shallow water where children can splash about, secluded sports where couples can escape the crowds and jet skiing for those seeking a little excitement.

Bilaj al Jazayer Beach is also a popular snorkelling spot, while other amenities include cafes, food stalls and a BBQ stand.

If fun and excitement are priorities for your day by the sea, you should definitely make a beeline for Marassi Beach.

As well as offering kayaking, water skiing and paddle boarding, you can also play football and volleyball, or tackle the challenging obstacles on a fabulous floating waterpark.

For a beach experience that’s sure to take your breath away, head offshore to discover Jarada Island, located in the waters of the Arabian Gulf.

This stretch of just pristine sand is surrounded by stunning turquoise water and appears and disappears depending on the tides. It's the perfect place to relax in complete tranquillity, enjoy a romantic picnic with that special someone or swim in an utterly unique setting with the dazzling blue of the Arabian Gulf all around.

This unique beach is a dreamy spot for a tranquil picnic location and is well worth the 45-minute boat ride to get there.

Restaurants in Bahrain

When you set off on holiday to Bahrain, make sure you’ve packed your appetite. From gourmet treats and family feasts to global flavours and local delicacies, there’s a dining destination to suit every taste and budget.

Those travellers who like to discover the traditional cuisine of their host nation should seek out Haji’s Cafe, in Manama Souk. Here you can enjoy a host of authentic Bahraini dishes, with machboos, spicy slow-cooked meat served with rice, and khaboos, Arabic flatbread, among the delights on the menu. Delicious Arabian fare can also be found at Agaily & Karak, in Manama, while Furn Bistro & Bakery, in the Seef district, offers Middle Eastern food with a Western twist.
