The Weekend Guide: What To Do and Where To Eat in Bahrain (9 – 11 April)

Bahraincover

Wondering what to do or where to eat? We’re dropping another weekend guide for you, Bahrain! A dose of things to do and brunches to check out on the island.

While the island has been staying safe and limiting outdoor movement, life is steadily normalising, and that’s 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.
