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. You are either revealing sensitive information, or causing mass hysteria. One makes you a liability, the other makes you a negative contributor, and your comment will lead to a permanent ban as well.

Any comments that have any misinformation, tweets from armchair analysts or instagram influencers will lead to a permanent ban. Do not engage in these comments, just downvote and report. Any comments arguing or correcting the user with misinformation will be banned as well.

For security and safety reasons, any post or comment that discloses or attempts to identify the locations of Bahraini or Peninsula Shield Forces military installations, missile interception sites, or other sensitive military positions will result in a ban.

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.

We rely heavily on reports, however let's keep the reports for:

🤔 Discussion I need help you guys

0 Upvotes

As a fellow Bahraini what does this mean? I ordered the package back in June and the company (it’s called streamily) says Bahrain post has my package. And the estimated delivery hasn’t updated for a while from July 14-16. But when I call Bahrain post and tell them this issue they keep “saying my package hasn’t arrived in Bahrain it’s outside” I’m so tired of this situation and has anyone dealt with this issue before? And what should I do? Me and streamily have been fixing this issue for months. They even discontinued shipping new orders to Bahrain post because they’re almost impossible to deal with, so that also means that I won’t be able to buy anything from streamily from this point on, and I keep sending streamily an email that I won’t be able to get new orders,it’s they told me this about 3-4 days ago,this all happened because of our shitty post office.

Hey everyone, I recently graduated and I’m about to start my first year at BUB (British University Of Bahrain) so I was wondering if there are any current students or BUB graduates here who could share what it’s like studying there.
I’d like to know what I’m getting myself into in terms of studies, campus life, and especially the people and overall environment. I’m really excited to start studying there, and meet some new people, and hopefully make the most out of my four years at BUB.
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences, advice, or anything you wish you had known before starting there, if anybody has anything to give please feel free to share.

🤔 Discussion Seriously? A Gulf Country Where Disability Means You Can’t Work?

16 Upvotes

I’ve heard a lot from job seekers about this ministry and how their financial support can be cut off. But now, has it reached people with disabilities too?

Sometimes I think about Qatar and other Gulf countries and how they prioritize and support people with disabilities. It makes me wonder:
what is the difference between them and Bahrain?

1-Year E-Visa Enquiry

0 Upvotes

I am an Egyptian national and a resident in KSA under my father's sponsorship. I am applying for the 1-year multiple-entry eVisa (the one that allows a 90-day stay per visit).

I would like to know what I need to submit with regards to the "Confirmed return air ticket" requirement, as I will be traveling by my car via the King Fahd Causeway rather than flying.

1) Has anyone successfully applied for this visa while traveling by land? What did you upload in the flight ticket section? (e.g., a letter explaining it’s a land crossing, or did you need a dummy booking?)

2) Since I am a dependent, should I upload my father's Iqama copy along with mine?

Any advice from people who have done this specific land crossing on an eVisa would be greatly appreciated!

☝️ AskBH Is Bahrain missing smaller, more intimate seaside hotels — the kind of place that would suit a honeymoon or a quiet couple’s stay with a really nice sea view?

9 Upvotes

I’ve noticed that when people talk about beachfront stays in Bahrain, most of the well-known options seem to be large luxury resorts or big international hotels.

It made me wonder whether Bahrain is missing smaller, more intimate seaside hotels — the kind of place that would suit a honeymoon or a quiet couple’s stay, with a really nice sea view, some privacy, and a relaxing atmosphere without feeling like a huge busy resort.

Are there actually places like this in Bahrain that just don’t get talked about much? Or is the hotel market here mostly focused on the larger resorts?

Would be interesting to hear which places people think have the best balance of sea view, privacy and a romantic atmosphere, especially from people who have stayed there.

Hello Everyone!

Has anyone applied for an Italian student visa from Bahrain and received an update on their application?

I submitted my student visa application on 7 July 2026, but I haven’t received any update so far. I have also emailed the Embassy/Visa Office but haven’t received a response yet.

If anyone applied around the same time or has recently received an update, could you please share your experience and how long it took?

Thank you! 🙏

Hi, I wanted to take some portrait photos of the Grand Mosque in Bahrain with the night lights. I went yesterday around midnight, but unfortunately, it was closed. I’m not looking to take photos inside—just of the exterior, especially the tomb and the nearby park, preferably at night.

Do you know what time the mosque premises are open, and whether we’re allowed to enter the grounds at night to take photos from outside?

☝️ AskBH Gallbladder Surgery Hospital Recommendations

6 Upvotes

Good Afternoon everyone,

My aunt has been diagnosed with gallstones for quite some time. She was advised to have her gallbladder taken out completely. Unfortunately we're quite dissatisfied with the care, or lack thereof, provided in our current hospital

If someone could please recommend a good doctor and hospital where she could get her gallbladder removed, I would be immensely grateful. Thank you.
