How safe is Bahrain for solo female travelers?

Manama, Solo travel

I took horse riding lessons in southern Bahrain and I also did some kayaking and visited local areas. Overall a nice experience. I stayed for 2 weeks with a local family. Public transport was easy, however it takes much longer to get around.

It’s a very very safe country, maybe the safest country you could visit in your entire life. The maximum that could happen if it’s very late at night is some guys flirting or asking for your number or airdropping their Snapchat

Bahrain is v safe especially towards foreigners and Arabs. When I say foreigners I mean white people. When it comes to brown women we would face the occasional staring and cat calling in some areas. However the laws are v strict here. Women are considered a high security priority in bahrain. You will not have to face any kind of issues. And since it’s the season police patrol around every corner.
