Get your luggage, exit arrivals at Manama Airport (BAH-Bahrain Intl.), and collect your rental car. Which one you climb into depends on where you’re venturing. If you’ll be spending a lot of time driving in downtown Manama, around 4 miles from the terminal, consider something small. A compact car with nimble handling will be perfect for those busy city streets. But with almost endless things to see, like the glorious sandy shores of the region, you’ll probably be racking up those miles. A bigger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make lengthier road trips a pleasure.
