Transportation
Once in Bahrain, taxis are plentiful and hiring a car is easy.
Driving
The easiest way to get around Bahrain is by car, although taxis and chauffeured cars are also widely available. Traffic signs are in both Arabic and English. Motorways and major roads in the northern third of Bahrain are four to six lanes wide and well maintained.
Vehicles can be hired from any number of car hire companies and filling up your car is cheaper than in most other areas of the world. A list of car rental companies is below:
