Here are the best spots to catch the Bahrain National Day fireworks in 2024
Bahrain International Circuit
For the adrenaline junkies and motorsports fans, this is a pretty cracking choice to watch the Bahrain National Day fireworks. If you love the fireworks that go off while the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix winner takes his victory lap, you’ll love the view on national day.
Free. Mon Dec 16, 7pm. Bahrain International Circuit. bahraingp.com.
Water Garden City
This is a brilliant spot to view the Bahrain National Day fireworks plus, enjoy a tasty dinner at the restaurants. Do be warned, this place can get crowded for the show – so make sure you head here early and grab a seat (and never let go).
Free. Sun Dec 15, 4pm-11pm. Water Garden City, Manama. watergardencity.net.
Bahrain Bay
If you’re on the lookout for a fab spot to catch the Bahrain National Day fireworks, you can’t go wrong hanging around the Bahrain Bay. Head here to watch a pretty lush display over the shimmering waters, it just makes you feel all fuzzy inside as a proud Bahrain dweller.
The Avenues
When it comes to watching the Bahrain National Day fireworks, The Avenues is typically an easy spot to catch the Bahrain Bay display – but just remember: there. will. be. crowds.
If you’re heading here by car, you are better off visiting the mall early in the day and just hang around until show time.
Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay
Now if you’re looking for a posh celebration, this is the place to be. If you happen to be a visitor staying at the hotel, you’ll have a stellar view of the Bahrain Bay and the Bahrain National Day fireworks.
If you’ve not booked a room, you can still have a pretty grand meal wherever you decide to dine. We recommend you head up to CUT, RE/Asian, or Blue Moon Lounge for a terrific view.
