Getting Around by Road
Bus: Routes serve most towns and villages.
Taxi: Metered taxis are readily available. They can be hired in the street or from stands outside hotels and at major tourist attractions. They are identifiable by their orange side-wings and yellow number plates. Share-taxis which carry up to five passengers are also available. These are recognisable by a yellow circle with the licence number in black painted on the driver's door and by their white and orange number plates. There are several designated pick-up points. Meters are not used and fares should always be agreed beforehand. Radio cabs are also available.
Car hire: Most of the major international car hire companies operate in Bahrain with representatives at the airport and at big hotels.
Regulations: Speed limits are 100kph (62mph) on highways and between 50-80kph (31-50mph) on all other roads.
Documentation: An International Driving Permit is necessary (must be obtained prior to arrival) and must be endorsed by the Traffic and Licensing Directorate. Valid UK licence (if applicable) will be valid for three months only.
