Traveling to Manama
Manama is compact enough to see a great deal in a short visit — the World Trade Center's wind-turbine towers, the restored Bab Al Bahrain souq, and a causeway crossing that makes it one of the easiest GCC capitals to reach overland from Saudi Arabia.
Most travelers arrange a private hotel pickup or drop-off as part of the trip. For onward travel, see our Riyadh to Bahrain taxi service. You can also extend the trip to Muharraq.

Transfer & Chauffeur Options
Airport Transfer
We meet arrivals at Bahrain International Airport (BAH), and also run direct King Fahd Causeway transfers from Dammam's King Fahd International Airport for travelers arriving in Saudi Arabia and continuing overland to Bahrain.
All airport transfers →City Transfer
Manama's compact grid is easy to cover with a private transfer between the souq, World Trade Center district, and waterfront hotels — most visitors combine several sights in a single half-day loop.
Private taxi service →Hourly Chauffeur
An hourly chauffeur works well for a Manama-plus-Bahrain-Fort day, or for causeway travelers who want the same driver for both the border crossing and city sightseeing.
