Flight Summary
Flightmapping's Bahrain flights info page is the best place to quickly discover which airlines offer direct flights from the UK to Bahrain. Check out the table above for a comprehensive list of every route available between Bahrain and the UK.
As Bahrain is often used as a stopover, there are plenty of flights available, including some operated by airlines heading further east. Flight connections are available via other airports in both Europe and the Middle East, but although this can sometimes be marginally cheaper than taking the direct option, it will add considerable time to your trip.
Destination Summary
Thirty-three islands, varying in size, off the coast of Saudi Arabia make up Bahrain; a slightly confusing situation, as the largest of these islands is known as Bahrain itself.

Mark Says
Of the other islands, Muharraq plays home to Bahrain International Airport, while Sitra is the country's industrial hub. The majority are uninhabited, at least by humankind: they're mined for their rich oil and petroleum resources, or kept as wildlife reserves.
Bahrain is connected to Saudi Arabia on the Arabian Peninsular by the King Fahad Causeway, a remarkable feat of engineering. Not least because it has to survive incredible heat. The islands average around 36°C during the summer months.
One of Bahrain's most prominent attractions is the Soukh bazaar, with its gold and cloth merchants. Bahrain's rich Islamic heritage is illustrated by the House of the Qur'an and a number of places of worship: the Al-Fatih (or Great) Mosque, the Al-Khamis Mosque (with its distinctive twin minarets) and the Barbar Temple. Plenty of history, too, in the islands' two forts: the Bahrain Fort (sometimes known as the Portuguese Fort, in a nod to its former colonial masters) and the Arad Fort, one of the first sights travellers see on arriving by air. Wildlife grows through the cracks, such as the mysterious Tree of Life, which flourishes in desert land without obvious water supply.
Sporting activities tend towards the millionaire's end of the spectrum (i.e. horse racing and golf), though the Museum of Pearl Diving might suggest a more profitable way to explore the surrounding Gulf. Pack your trunks, and take a snorkel…
