Hi,
Will depend on when the moon is sighted, if sighted on 14th all banks should be off till 17th. http://www.cbb.gov.bh/page-p-official_bank_holidays.htm (however it will depend on the bank)

Govt institutions will be off till 19th.

if the moon is sighted on 15th then add an extra day.

You are probably thinking from Saudi angle. There, the holidays are this week and government comes back on 24th

But then again, Saudi only gets Eid holidays and one national day whereas Bahrain gets a lot of public holidays in a year - so they don't go crazy on Eid time with time off!
