Me and my boyfriend are planning to travel in bahrain. I am working in Riyadh and he is working in dammam. Because its more expensive for me to travel from royadh to bahrain, he was thinking if we could just travel to bahrain togethee by land. So i will travel from Riyadh to dammam and then we will travel to his car from dammam to riyadh. We are not yet married actually.

I would like to ask any information regarding this. If we could travel together by land as unmarried couples? If the border will ask any married certificate if we passby on them? Can we travel or stay together in a hotel together? We are with different nationalites, im filipina and his palestinain. Whats your advice regarding this?

Thank you.

From a bahrain angle, no issue staying in hotel. This is not saudi .

Driving from dammam to Bahrain should also be ok. I have done it many times with female colleagues without issue. But sometimes you can have bad luck - no way to predict. Just be aware and avoid overt displays of affection.

Thank you for this. Atleast we are aware on it.

We can just try and act professional if we are there. 😅

What I said before also applies.

It really depends on your luck or lack thereof. As I said before, I have done it many times without issue but once colleagues of mine got into trouble because their car got into an accident and the police were called. That was a big mess.
