Currently in Bahrain having just been to the F1! we come back frequently to visit family and have used day passes at the Ritz, Jumeirah resort, Sofitel and Four Seasons this week.
The hotels are to a very high standard and are designed beautifully with some very nice restaurants. That said, there isn’t anything of note to do in the country as a whole. The malls are fine, Bahrain fort is small and not very interesting (and I am very interested in history generally) and there is quite a bit of traffic
There is however lots to eat (and to a very nice standard). Regarding western dress you can wear anything sensible to be honest, Bahrain is filled with expats and US troops who wear “moderate” clothing.
If you’re after a hotel break Doha is generally cheaper for the same quality, for shopping and eating food Dubai, for culture go Oman or maybe even Abu Dhabi. But just my opinion and may be a nice 2 or 3 day stay to experience it.
