Bahrain International Airport (BAH) is about 4.3 miles away from Manama, the capital city of Bahrain. The airport was founded by British colonists in 1932; in fact the first flights to visit the airport were planes making a stopover on the journey between Delhi and London. Nowadays, many of the flights carry foreign workers from neighbouring country Saudi Arabia. The airport is well organised and has won a number of prizes including being named the Middle East's best airport. Sixt now offers a car rental service from the airport; our reliable car hire service is sure to make your visit to Manama even more enjoyable.
Manama is the capital of Bahrain; the country (which is an archipelago) was ruled by Britain between 1892 and 1971. Historic reminders of this time can be viewed in Manama; these sites include the remains of the British infrastructure. More modern sites are the impressive skyscrapers of the city, especially in the central business district. Meanwhile, those visitors who have access to a good car rental firm may wish to enjoy a road trip along the magnificent causeway (which links the island to the rest of the country).
