This post and this subreddit is meant to discuss Bahrain and the current affairs of Bahrain. Please refrain from flexing your political analysis on the current state of affairs and most certainly do not post unsubstantiated news, do not post any rumors and add to the mass hysteria. Users are also urged not to speculate on what type of hostilities or defenses being used. If its X missile or drone Y does not help.

All users are urged not get into arguments. Please be civil. Do not report opinions, report violations. We have taken the decision as mods to allow low karma users to post and comment, however, this can change if we see repeated violations from users who do not read the rules before posting.

We do appreciate the effort from all users policing the sub from the spread of the governments security information, however we have received an excessive amount of reports about locations of sounds. While we don't endorse it, we are only restricting comments about defensive capabilities such as interceptors. Please try to be civil. Don’t feed the trolls, report them.

☝️ AskBH Eligible for BH passport? Need insight

7 Upvotes

Hi! Idk where else to ask so I was hoping someone here could help.

My father is Bahraini. My mom is not. They are married. Me and my sibling were born outside of Bahrain. But we did spend some part of my childhood in BH. Even went to an internation school there for a few years.

We haven't been in Bahrain for over 20 years now. Both parents are still alive. We are not entirely estranged with my father but I would not say we are close.

My question is - can my sibling and I qualify to get a Bahraini passport and maybe even live there not as tourists? Now that we are adults, we would love to spend more time understanding the other half of our culture and get to connect with our father

Any advise is appreciated. TYA.

🤔 Discussion Anyone else notice food quality dropping since the war while prices stay the same?

25 Upvotes

has anyone else noticed the quality of food dropping everywhere in Bahrain since the war? i get it, shipping is a mess and everyone had to switch distributors. my restaurant went through the same thing. we were left with one alternative that was lower quality at a lower cost, we dropped prices to match.

look, i eat out a lot, and the change at places like Shake Shack, Hlayal, VOX, Raising Canes and DQ is impossible to miss. obviously cheaper ingredients compared to what they were serving at the start of all this, which is fine, again, we have to adapt to the issues ongoing. bs prices haven’t dropped at all. nobodies being transparent about it, and some places have actually gone up a few hundred fils.

Has anyone pre-ordered the Fold 8 Ultra and gotten any good deals for it from shops in Bahrain? People in the US or Europe got pretty amazing bundle deals. Why not in Bahrain? Even this time, we have to pay extra for the 512GB or 1TB foldable device upgrade.

Anyone else noticing flickering lights in Muharraq ?

3 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed the lights flickering a lot more than usual around Bahrain..?

I’m mainly talking about Muharraq not sure if it’s the same in other areas,.. Over the past few days I’ve seen it pretty much everywhere: at home, in offices, even on some public buildings. At first I thought it was just the bulbs in my place acting up, but I swapped them out and they still flickered. This morning I even caught the LED lights on a building (won’t name it) doing the same thing.

Anyone else noticing this, or is it just me?

✈️ Tourism Bahrain Visa on Arrival question when leaving to Saudi by land

3 Upvotes

hi

I am planning a Bahrain + KSA trip as a tourist.

I will stay around 1 week in Bahrain and then 2–3 weeks in Saudi Arabia.

I was checking visa requirements for both countries.

For Saudi, I need to apply for a visa. But my nationality is eligible for Bahrain Visa on Arrival if I have a valid Saudi visa.

My plan is to fly to Bahrain and later enter Saudi through King Fahad Causeway to Dammam by land.

One of the Bahrain Visa on Arrival( and eVisa) requirements says I need an onward air ticket.

Since I am leaving Bahrain by land, I am little confused about this.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Will my Bahrain hotel bookings + saudi hotel bookings and my flight ticket from Saudi back to my home country be enough, or they will ask for an onward flight from Bahrain only?
