The Weekend Guide: What To Do and Where To Eat in Bahrain (2 – 4 April)

Bahraincover

Weekends have looked a little different over the past month. While the island has been keeping safe and limiting movement outdoors, life is steadily normalising, and that’s always a good sign. There aren’t big events or parties happening right now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a brief outing.

Community hubs and restaurants are welcoming visitors back. As always, keep an eye on official channels and stay alert to the developing situation while you’re out.

With that said, here’s your weekend guide, Bahrain.
