Warm during the day and a little cool at night. The sun shone brightly but not too hot. Don't miss the opportunity to travel without sweating.
Lara DudinkDecember in Bahrain was beautiful, with pleasant temperatures and sunny days. It blew occasionally, but overall it was quite pleasant. Spectacular sunsets and blue skies.
WillemEvenings were more pleasant with cooler temperatures. Air conditioning is a necessity. September is a month with fewer tourists.
Tessa van der LansAlthough there was plenty of sunshine, the high temperature and humidity made it more suitable for indoor activities than outdoor recreation. Drink lots of water!
