Many transportation options are available to Bahrain International Airport from the city center, including:
Buses are the most budget-friendly transportation option to Bahrain International Airport. Two main lines, A1 and A2, are the primary airport routes, running approximately every 30 minutes, with air-conditioned, spacious, and comfortable buses.

If you choose to use a minibus, it is advisable to confirm the destination with the driver before boarding.
Taxis are the fastest options available, as transportation to Bahrain International Airport takes around 15-20 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Make sure taxis are metered before your trip and if you seek alternatives ride-hailing services are available in Bahrain.
