Offers multiple vehicle tiers and the option to book rides in advance, which is handy for early flights. | Fully operational across Bahrain with good coverage. Since the country is so small, rides are generally cheap and quick. Works with international payment methods. |

| Pro Tip | Careem frequently runs promotions in Bahrain, especially during Ramadan and the Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend. Check the app for discount codes. | An Uber from Bahrain International Airport to Manama's hotel district rarely takes more than 15 minutes. Skip the hotel shuttle and just grab a ride. |
