The Kingdom of Bahrain is a small island state in the Persian Gulf, where people go in search of special entertainment. Bahrain Airport welcomes daily falconry, golfing and horse riding enthusiasts. Flights from Moscow are possible with connections in Cairo, Dubai, Istanbul or Doha. The Russian passenger will have to spend about 7-8 hours in flight, taking into account the transfer.
Bahrain International Airport
Bahrain's only international airport is located on the small island of Muharraq, 7 km northeast of the capital, Manama.

They are called Bahrain Air and Gulf Air. In addition to them, there are aircraft of various world air carriers on the airfield:

Infrastructure and transfer
Bahrain Air Gateway was awarded the title of "Best Airport in the Middle East" in 2010. Prior to that, for several years, large-scale construction and reconstruction works were underway on its territory.
Today, there are three terminals, which have all the modern amenities for passengers - from restaurants and shopping centers to hotels and even a swimming pool. While waiting for your flight, you can while away the time in the hairdressing salon or spa, buy cute souvenirs in duty-free shops and exchange currency. High-speed wireless Internet is available in the passenger terminals.
Transfer from Bahrain International Airport is carried out by buses running between the island-city where the airport is located and the bus station in the capital of the country. The stop is at the highway roundabout outside the arrivals hall. A taxi will cost an order of magnitude more, but the prices for its services in the kingdom are not too high. It is better to choose a car equipped with a taximeter so that the price for the trip does not exceed the real price (approximately $ 10 for September 2015).
Tourists wishing to rent a car can use the services of offices based directly in the passenger terminals in the arrivals area.
All the details about the flight schedule can be found on the airport website - www.bahrainairport.com.
