Transportation to Manama City Center from Airport

Bahrain Intl. Airport

Many transportation options are available to the city center from Bahrain International Airport, including:

However, they do not have a set schedule, availability can vary and can be crowded during peak hours. If you choose to use a minibus, it is advisable to confirm the destination with the driver before boarding.
