Manama - Post Report Question and Answers
What are some interesting/fun things to do in the area? Can you recommend any “hidden gems"?
Not really. I mean, going to Oman? Oman is a hidden gem I believe (although it attracts quite a bit of tourism already). - Apr 2017
There are plenty of British clubs, great food and malls although they are expensive. There are cinemas, and pools everywhere. - Nov 2015
Cheap flights out of Bahrain to nicer destinations like Dubai, Oman, Qatar, Cyprus and the MALDIVES! - Aug 2014
Go to a performance during the Spring of Culture, spend a day at one of the waterparks; hit the mall; learn to scuba dive; throw a pool party; visit the Maldives (or Goa, Jordan, Oman, Israel, Turkey); run the Dubai or Bahrain marathon; host a game night; spring for a day at the Ritz or Sofitel to enjoy their beach; get some clothes tailor-made; plant a garden, learn to sail, enjoy expensive and inexpensive Moroccan spas, or go to trivia night at one of the Irish pubs. - Sep 2012
Sailing, archeology (there are always digs going on), shopping. - Apr 2010
NO BEACH! You will spend your time at the pool, possibly join a club to socialize. Shopping and eating out are really it. Many people leave the island and travel because it gets a bit dull. - Jun 2009
Small country: few things to do. Some parks, beaches, F1 track where you can get all kinds of lessons in driving plus watch now regular racing, like professional drag racing. - Dec 2008
Same old list from the other postings.nothing new to add. There is NOTHING to do here. - Aug 2008
