About the Bay

Tubli Bay is a coastal body of water situated between Bahrain Island and Sitra Island, south of the Manama Peninsula. Within the bay lies Nabih Saleh Island, surrounded by tidal waters and calm shorelines. Travellers visit primarily to view the coastal scenery, watch local marine and bird habitats, and experience an open natural landscape close to urban centers.

Getting There

Reaching the shoreline from central Riffa or central Manama typically takes 15 to 20 minutes by car or taxi. From Bahrain International Airport (BAH), driving time is roughly 20 to 25 minutes depending on traffic conditions along the connecting highways.

Time to Spend

Allow approximately 1 to 2 hours for a visit. This provides enough time to walk along accessible viewpoints and observe views across the water toward Nabih Saleh.

When to Visit

The cooler winter months from November to March are best for outdoor walking, as summer temperatures can be intense. Early morning and late afternoon visits help avoid the strongest sun. The shoreline does not usually draw large tourist crowds, offering a quiet setting.

Nearby Destinations

Several districts and areas sit within a short driving distance:

  • Bu Ashira (2 km)
  • Mahooz (2.3 km)
  • Ghuraifa (2.4 km)
  • Bu Ghazal (3.2 km)
