Goodday!

I book my ticket to go bahrain this weekend for 1day only.
I have exit and entry Visa I have passport and iqama with me I'm a nurse I will travel alone and my question is how long it takes to get a visa arrival and is my paper enough?
If anyone of you always go to bahrain is Uber a better option than taxi?
There's is f1 race going on can I just enter the place just to take pictures (not the race track) with out paying the entrance fee.

Here is my itinenary for

Bahrain airport 8am

Al fateh grand mosque 9am

Bahrain national musuem 10am

Qalat al bahair 11am

------ still looking for place to go--- 12-6pm

City center mall 7pm - 11pm

Airport 12midnight as my flight is 3:45am.

My original plan is to visit the Lost paradise resort but someone said the taxi fare is high because it's outside Manama that will cost me more.

I can visit the race track but I don't know if I'm allowed to go as there is f1 racing going on.

If anyone been there can you please give me insight how to maximize my day with limited budget.

I'm open to suggestions.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Your papers are enough to get the arrival visa , it takes no time in getting the visa , rest good luck for the day. If you are in Dammam use bass next time Sr 120 up & down

Hi ,
For visa you need 25 BD.
1 Hour for Grand Mosque is not enough.
1Hour in Bahrain National museum is not enough .
The F1 is very far way from Airport ? How you will go there?
You can visit Manama souk,Golden city,Seef mall,Al Alli shoping cente( my favorite ).
Tree of Life also is famous attraction in Bahrain and Saudi bridge .
Cheers

Hi!

Thanks for giving me the visa fee.
The amount of time is just time table only how I can maximize my time. If it's takes 2 or more time in one place in More good to me because I only have few place to go. Someone told me to take Uber than taxi because taxi is More expensive and I will go first which is more near the airport then follow by the place I want to go. I will add on my list the Souq I think the tree of life is more far and cost me more in taxi fare, I appreciate your input mam.

Thanks you
