What to do in Bahrain for 4 hours and Abu Dhabi for 7 hours
I have 2 quite long stopovers in the Middle East on a Forthcoming (Wed) trip
with GF to the Far East. I have 4 hours in Bahrain on the way and 7 hours in Abu Dhabi on the way back. If anybody has been to either of these airports, could you please let me know what I can do to amuse myself. TIA |

There are bars in Abu Dhabi and Dubai airports, in the same way that alcohol is available on Emirates. phil |

TIA Well if it was Emirates, they take people *downtown* to a nice hotel, for room and meals during such a stopover with transfers to and from the airport,......why not ask Gulf Air themselves direct about your question and get a PROPER answer? Malaysian do superb stopovers with day rooms and a half day tour free,, many are copying,,,, do please ask the carrier concerned and get the proper reply. |

No kidding? Even during the daytime during Rammaddan? Oh get a life. this is international aviation not a religion bound on transport and what is permitted,,, its not all EL AL you know |

No kidding? Even during the daytime during Rammaddan? This is very tiresome. Emirates has been voted the best airline in the world for what must be 5 years running (if not more), and Dubai airport is one of the most modern in the world with probably better luxury shopping facilities than you'll find anywhere else. Infinitely better than that ******** they call JFK which has about 3 shops. However repressive Islam may be, Dubai does have a bloody good airline and airport. (There's less to do at Abu Dhabi). phil |

Well, they would also need a passport. But - yes. Many arabs choose ELAL because it is safer. ::There are bars in Abu Dhabi and Dubai airports, in the same way that alcohol ::is available on Emirates. :No kidding? :Even during the daytime during Rammaddan? :This is very tiresome. :Emirates has been voted the best airline in the world for what must be 5 years :running (if not more), and Dubai airport is one of the most modern in the world :with probably better luxury shopping facilities than you'll find anywhere else. :Infinitely better than that ******** they call JFK which has about 3 shops. :However repressive Islam may be, Dubai does have a bloody good airline and :airport.
