What is the Climate Like in Bahrain?

Bahrain has a generally arid climate; the average annual rainfall is around 27 inches. Rain is more likely to fall in January, and some thunderstorms may occur during the winter as well. Summer has less changeable weather characterized by high temperatures and clear skies. The periods of spring and autumn tend to have high winds.

During winter the temperature will not drop to the 50’s. The summer temperatures are much higher. Temperatures of 105 are not uncommon.

How Safe is Bahrain?

The crime rate in Bahrain is low. But, pickpockets and thieves may target travelers. This is especially true in crowded areas, such as the old market area.

There can be political protests or demonstrations. These can cause blocked traffic and other travel inconveniences. All travelers should avoid any demonstrations, which can turn violent. Both the protestors and the officials may use force.


Visit Bahrain’s Great Mosque

Bahrain is known for its beautiful mosques. One of the biggest and best-known is its Great Mosque, also known as Al-Fatih Mosque. Encompassing over 6,500 square meters, this is one of the largest mosques in the world.

In this mosque, you can take a tour of some of the area’s most stunning architecture. In the mosque’s library you can see dozens of historical Arabic books, some hundreds of years old.

What Should I Pack for Bahrain?

Don’t forget a few must-haves for your trip to Bahrain to go as smoothly as possible.

  • Modest Clothing – While Bahrain is one of the most tolerant countries in the Middle East, both men and women should try to cover their shoulders and knees.

  • Light Layers – Not only can these help you cover up more skin, but a sweater or scarf can be helpful if you get chilly during windy winter nights in Bahrain.

  • Sunglasses and Sunscreen – Since Bahrain is a desert, the sun can be stronger than many people from the U.S. are accustomed to. Be sure you have plenty of sun protection and avoid sunburns as best you can.

U.S. Embassy in Bahrain

The U.S. Embassy in Bahrain is located in the capital, Manama. Be aware that the Bahraini workweek is from Sunday through Thursday.

U.S. Embassy Manama
