Have been here numerous times for track days and took the tour once. On the tour you get to see behind the scenes and go up the tower for a real birdseye view of the track. Not much there unless there is an event on. Plenty of clean toilets. Visitor centre / shop to pick up souvenirs etc. A bit... More

The Baharin International Circuit i is world class facility and the go carting circuit is also equally good. I visited here with my family and had a great time. The lounge overlooking the circuit is very beautiful and spacious. The only downside is the price which is 11 BD for 15 mins which is expensive. More

I attended the 2007 Grand Prix which was won by Phillipe Massa. I have followed F1 for many years and this is the only Grand Prix I have seen live. What an experience. Good facilities and the arab passion for all things fast is very apparent. More

Went to the V8 there, lovely place. Ample parking space and lots of food options. They also host the F1, concerts, events and kart rides there. There's tons to do there but make sure to arrive early during races and make time for road blocks and detours. More

The circuit is 25km from city center, access is easy via the highway. Plenty of parking available (during F1, u need the sticker and park in designated space). The venue is home to many motor sporting events during the year. For tourists visiting during non race days, check their website bahraingp.com for uptodate opening hours. There is a circuit tour...
