Tubli Bay

Overview

Tubli Bay is a sheltered body of water on the eastern side of Bahrain, located between Bahrain Island and Sitra Island, south of the Manama peninsula. It encloses Nabih Saleh Island and offers calm coastal views across the inlet. Travelers visit primarily for a quiet look at the natural coastline and open water.

Getting There

The area is reached by car or taxi. From central Manama or Hamad Town, driving takes roughly 15 to 20 minutes via main routes toward Sitra. From Bahrain International Airport (BAH), the journey takes approximately 20 to 25 minutes depending on traffic.

Time to Allow

Plan to spend 45 minutes to 1 hour here. This is adequate for viewing the water, observing the island across the bay, and taking a short walk along accessible shore areas.

When to Visit

The cooler months between November and March are the most suitable for outdoor visits. Aim for early morning or late afternoon to avoid midday heat. The bay does not generally draw large tourist crowds, though nearby arterial roads experience regular commuter traffic.
