Does it have emv chip ?..then try it.. charges and exchange rates depends on different banks. Some banks automatically allow...some banks expect you to activate it before you travel globally..if no emv chip.. sorry...there is no way..

As responded above, yes you can, provided there is a chip.

Do bear in mind that charges can be quite high for "foreign" cards - so do check before you use.

The usual withdrawal limit in Bahrain for "local" cards is upto BHD500 per day (approximately US$1,325). However, the limit could be lower for "foreign" cards.
