Bahrain → Bahrain Fort (Qalat al Bahrain): key facts

Getting from Bahrain Airport (BAH) to Bahrain Fort (Qalat al Bahrain) takes about 15 min by car on an empty road (15–25 min in heavy traffic) over 14 km. Our private transfer costs €40 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €60 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits in the Arrivals Area of Bahrain International Airport, after immigration, baggage claim and customs, holding a sign with your name, and walks with you to the car outside the arrival level. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Bahrain Fort stands on the northern coast of the main island, west of Manama, about 14 km from the airport by road. The route crosses to Manama on the Shaikh Isa bin Salman Causeway, follows King Faisal Highway along Bahrain Bay and continues west on the Shaikh Khalifa bin Salman Highway past the Seef district before turning north through the village of Karbabad to the fort. There are no tolls. The highways around Seef are busy at weekday rush hours and in the evening near the shopping malls.

Qalat al Bahrain is a UNESCO World Heritage Site: a tell of successive settlements, once the capital of the Dilmun civilisation, crowned by a fort of the Portuguese era. A site museum with displays on the excavations stands at the entrance by the car park, and paths lead across the archaeological area to the fort and the shoreline. Date palm groves of Karbabad border the site on the land side, and the towers of Seef are visible to the east. Visits are most pleasant in the cooler months and towards sunset.

Public transport instead: Bahrain Public Transport Company (Bahrain Bus) A2 from Bahrain International Airport, Arrival level exit 4 (bus zone 4A) to Seef (route A2 continues via Manama Bus Terminal and City Centre to Seef); Bahrain Fort lies about 2 km north-west of Seef, live departures on the Bahrain Bus stop monitor (bahrainbus.bh). No bus stop at Bahrain Fort is listed on the airport's bus page; the nearest point on the airport routes is Seef on route A2, about 2 km from the fort.
