Be sure to take along winter clothes during December-March as the evenings are cool. Summer in Bahrain ranges from May to September and is very hot and humid. Occasional blowing cool northerly winds provide some relief. The frequent the hot and dry summer winds bring sandstorms.

Evade trip to Bahrain during Ramadan, the Muslim month of daytime fasting as lives slow down significantly. During the Haj annual pilgrimage to Mecca and over New Year's Eve accommodations become very tough to find, especially at the budget range where prices of hotels soar high.
