For those who prefer to drive themselves, roads in Bahrain are not as congested as some other GCC countries, and there are numerous car rental firms providing daily, weekly or monthly vehicle hire.

For car buyers, prices are competitive, and all leading makes are represented by accredited dealers.

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. Roads in villages and older parts of the capital city Manama and Muharraq are narrow and twisting.

Do not drink and drive as the penalties are very strict. Make sure that you rent a taxi if you are planning on consuming alcohol.

An International Driving Permit is not required but can be welcome.
