Route overview

Getting to Bahrain from Sri Lanka

Bahrain is compact and friendly, with a walkable capital, historic sites and a lively food scene. Gulf Air's home hub gives it good frequency and onward connections, and it makes a comfortable short Gulf break.

The cooler winter months are the peak for visitors; summer brings the best fares. For employment travel, book ahead to secure the best price whatever the season.
