Saudi Arabia’s National Day falls on 23 September, and for families across the Eastern Province, the King Fahd Causeway makes Bahrain and its hotels the obvious choice for a long weekend away. The holiday period brings a wave of visitors over for the celebrations, the shopping and a change of scenery that does not need a flight.
The causeway crossing itself is part of the appeal. It is a short, straightforward drive rather than a full holiday commute, which makes a two- or three-night trip realistic even on a public holiday weekend. Once across, visitors can expect National Day festivities on top of Bahrain’s usual mix of beaches, malls and dining, giving families plenty to fill a short stay without needing a packed itinerary.
Hotels across the island have put together staycation packages built for the occasion. Expect discounted room rates, complimentary access to pools and beaches, kids’ clubs to keep younger guests busy, and spa treatments for parents who need a break of their own. Breakfast is included at most properties, and a few throw in dinner too.
Booking early makes sense regardless of which hotel you choose, since several offers require confirmation a few days ahead and rooms tend to fill quickly around the holiday. Here is where to book, and what each offer includes.
