Prince Khalifa Bin Salaman Island

Prince Khalifa Bin Salman Island

This is an artificial island located on the bridge connecting Manama and Muharraq. The primary draw for visitors is the Prince Khalifa Bin Salman Park, an urban green space covering approximately 79,000 square meters. Travelers visit this location for walking, jogging, and accessing open outdoor space within the city's infrastructure.

Getting There

The island is accessible via the bridge from Manama city centre. The most practical way to reach the site is by taxi or rental car. Depending on traffic conditions, the drive typically takes 10 to 20 minutes from the central districts of Manama.

Duration of Visit

Most visitors spend between 1 and 3 hours here. This allows enough time to walk through the park grounds and observe the surrounding coastal views without rushing.

When to Visit

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

Nearby Attractions

The island's location makes it a convenient starting point to visit other sites in the Manama and Muharraq areas. You can combine a visit here with the following nearby landmarks:

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