Going to Bahrain for the weekend

Be careful--there's a lot of protesting/rioting going on in Manama (or at least there was last weekend).

Well I plan on going to Bahrain next weekend... so they better not do anything... they have been forewarned

Hi everyone,
-are there like bus lines or drivers with vans? do you have some contacts to recommend?

There is a VIP Express Bus that goes to Dammam.  You can then catch the bus from Dammam to Bahrain.  There used to be a bus that goes to Bahrain (stopping in Dammam) but I think they have discontinued that service.

PS.  This info re the bus service is from Riyadh.  Just realized you are in Jubail.

I tried last tiem with my car, it was fun.

For car rental, try diplomat its also on olaya. Diplomat rent a car.
But you gotcha be hurry as if you intend to hire you need a letter from Maroor as well which is a permission to take care out of the country.


Bahrain is nice plc, just watch out for protests and stay within main areas of Manama.
