Shopping
Start your shopping trip at the centre of Bahrain's shopping universe; the souk The Manama souk, located just beyond Bab Al Bahrain, is the perfect first stop. The shops, ranging from tiny open-air stalls to leading department stores, are packed with everything from clothes to electronics, tobacco to incense and antiques to gold.
Travel
Bahrain's public transport system is very limited - a small fleet of buses and no trains or trams. Bus fares are very cheap - just 50 fils (12 cents) a ride - but unless you have lots of time and tons of patience, you will quickly rule out this mode of transportation.
