Prince Khalifa Bin Salaman Island

Prince Khalifa Bin Salman Island

This artificial island is located on the bridge connecting Manama and Muharraq. It features the Prince Khalifa Bin Salman Park, an urban green space covering approximately 79,000 square meters. Travelers visit this site for walking, jogging, and accessing open outdoor space within the urban environment.

Getting There

The island is accessible via the bridge from Manama city centre. The trip typically takes 10 to 15 minutes by car or taxi, depending on traffic conditions.

Duration of Visit

Allow 1 to 2 hours to walk through the park and explore the perimeter of the island.

When to Visit

Due to the open nature of the park and the lack of natural shade, visiting during the early morning or late afternoon is recommended to avoid peak midday heat. The cooler winter months are the most suitable season for outdoor activities. The area can become crowded during weekends and public holidays when local residents use the space for recreation.

Nearby Attractions

The island is positioned near several historical and cultural sites in Al-Muharraq and the surrounding area. You can combine a visit here with the following:

  • Qal‘at Bū Māhir: 2.8km
  • Arad Fort: 3.2km
  • Al Fateh Grand Mosque: 3.7km
  • Ghuraifa: 4km
