Preparing your trip to Isa Town: advices & hints - things to do and to obey
1. As there are always many foreign workers in the town, and the majority of them work in the services division, they try to earn as much as they can. Some might even try to overcharge clients. That is why tourists should check the total and the change carefully everywhere in the town – in banks, restaurants, cafes, and hotels. In case of conflicts any mention of the police, attempts to call the police or visit a police office work as a cold shower. The staff immediately remembers that they forgot to give the change or overcharged clients.
2. When using taxi services, don’t forget to check that the taxi driver has the meter on. Local taxi drivers often “forget” to turn the meter on. Your actions should be the same – simply mention the police.
3. The staff cannot ask for more money than the price written on a price tag. That price already includes all taxes. That said, do not believe if someone says that you need to add some extra money.
4. Public transport is not well-developed in Isa Town, so it is most comfortable to navigate in the town on foot, in a taxi or a rented car. Because of that local people may not know how to reach a certain place by the public transport – they don’t use it much.
6. Bahrain is a Muslim country, so local people have a negative attitude towards alcohol. Don’t get drunk, especially in the public, as such behavior is strongly disapproved by locals.
7. Greet others and pass items only with the right hand. According to the Islamic religion, the left hand is considered impure.

Bahrain : travelling advices
12. The city of Manama is the capital of Bahrain. It differs significantly from all other cities in its British atmosphere and slightly different culture. But only a knowledgeable person can notice all this. 13. The main religion in Bahrain is Islam. More than 80% of local residents adhere to this religion. The rest of the country's residents are adherents of various faiths, including Christianity.
14. Tourists should adhere to the dress code despite the fact that Bahrain is a very liberal country. Of course, the locals do not expect a foreign woman to wear a niqab or burqa. But bare legs and shoulders will not be perceived adequately. You don’t have to cover your head. But the headscarf will be received more favorably than the uncovered head. A headscarf is required for visiting the mosque. Men should not wear shorts and bare hands. Loose, spacious clothing made of light fabrics will be appropriate.
