The long weekend is right around the corner, and there’s much to look forward to in Bahrain. We’re back with a brand new guide with all the things worth checking out! From fitness activities, nature experiences, and community meet-ups to dining specials, brunches and pop-ups, the island is buzzing.
This weekend is special: it marks the start of a new month and is also a long weekend for Labour Day.
For easy access, this long weekend guide is divided into two: What To Do and Where To Eat & Drink
Enjoy the long weekend and soak up the best in Bahrain!
Fancy an evening of games and good company? Head over to Arte de Café and team up with new friends while sipping warm drinks. The game master will explain and guide you through fun games all evening.
The Batelco Fitness on Track is back this Friday. Whether you’re a cyclist, a runner, or a beginner to exercise, this is your sign to get moving, build your fitness, and own your mornings.
Bahrain Road Runners are kicking off the month early with a Women’s and Kids’ Run at Exhibition World Bahrain. It is a relaxed, family-friendly start to May, and you do not need to be a seasoned runner to take part. The pace is yours, the company is good, and the atmosphere tends to feel more like a community gathering than a race.
The weather’s getting warmer by the day, so it’s time to visit one of the greenest spaces in Bahrain: Learn To Grow! Whether you’re looking for a peaceful afternoon under the trees with your favourite book and a picnic, or a fun day of discovery with the family, this garden is your sanctuary.
For anyone who prefers morning movement in air-conditioned comfort, iWorld is hosting an indoor walk at The Avenues Mall. Bring your Apple Watch to track your steps if that is your thing, or just turn up and enjoy the rhythm of moving with a group. It is a gentle, low-pressure way to start the day.
Holistic Antara is leading a Full Moon Yoga session at Water Garden City Beach. There is something about practising under May’s full moon, with the sea behind you, that resets the nervous system in a way no indoor session quite manages. Think of it as a cure for wellness fatigue, served slow.
Create a one-of-a-kind candle with your choice of scents, colours, and designs in this fun and creative workshop at Passion Art. Who doesn’t love a beautiful scented candle, especially when you’ve made it yourself?
This beautiful little art haven at the Harbour is giving you a reason to ease into your Saturday morning with colour, calm, and a little creativity. The session is all about patterns – stripes, florals, and playful details.

Circa‘s El Brunch leans into bold South American flavours with a side of full-blown carnival energy. A live band, DJ, and performers keep the atmosphere going while the kitchen turns out Latin-inspired dishes that match the mood.

The award-winning Indian restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton is serving up a lavish lunch and dinner thali filled with vibrant flavours.
Enjoy a Japanese-style happy hour with curated bites and a refined social setting at Sumosan this weekend. The concept leans into the Japanese tradition of after-work drinks, and the atmosphere is designed to feel relaxed rather than rushed.
