Direct flights from Shanghai to Bahrain, how to explore?

This week, the Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority (BTEA) successfully held a roadshow event titled "Bahrain – Exploring the Infinite Possibilities of the Island," bringing a delegation of local exhibitors to Shanghai and Guangzhou for in-depth discussions with over 140 Chinese travel operators. As its first industry event following last year's global tourism brand launch and the opening of direct flights, this roadshow comprehensively showcased the rich tourism resources and diverse charms of this enchanting Arabian island nation, promoting exchanges and cooperation between the Chinese and Bahraini tourism industries to jointly explore how to create high-quality travel services and experiences that attract Chinese travelers to visit. The Kingdom of Bahrain boasts a rich history of over four thousand years and is located on the southwestern coast of the Arabian Gulf. It is an archipelago nation surrounded by clear shallow waters, consisting of 33 natural islands and several artificial islands. Here, you can enjoy picturesque natural scenery, abundant historical heritage, year-round seaside experiences, vibrant entertainment options, authentic restaurants, and luxury hotels, attracting global visitors to enjoy a genuine Arabian island vacation. On this secluded island, you can choose to stroll along scenic beaches or embark on an island adventure unlocking a variety of water activities. In addition to breathtaking natural beauty, Bahrain’s long history and profound cultural heritage give it a unique charm. At Bahrain’s largest mosque, Al Fateh Grand Mosque, admire the world’s largest fiberglass dome and gain deep insights into Bahrain’s historical evolution and cultural essence. Explore the "Pearling Trail," a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, starting from Qal'at al-Bahrain (Bahrain Fort) and learn about Bahrain’s deep-rooted pearl and pearling culture along the way. You can also visit the Bahrain National Museum, which showcases four thousand years of brilliant civilization, and immerse yourself in the heritage treasures of this ancient civilization. Bahrain is also a shopping paradise, from the luxury brands gathered at the Mall of Dilmunia to the bustling Manama Souq and Bahrain Souq. At the same time, thrilling extreme sports, rich festivals, and arts, music, and sports events are held in succession. Experience the speed and passion of F1 racing at the Bahrain International Circuit, or wander through traditional local handicraft shops, creative art spaces, and galleries to appreciate the vibrant culture. A newly launched series of luxury hotels, resorts, and high-quality restaurants also offer many authentic local experiences. This roadshow brought together many high-quality exhibitors from Bahrain, including international airlines, destination management companies, and luxury resorts. They engaged in in-depth exchanges with Chinese travel industry partners to jointly explore how to tailor tourism products and services to better suit the preferences of Chinese tourists. In May 2024, Gulf Air, the national airline of Bahrain, officially launched two direct flight routes between Shanghai, Guangzhou, and its capital Manama, providing Chinese tourists with more flexible flight options for easy travel to Bahrain. With the continuous enhancement of air capacity and the gradual improvement of tourism resources, Bahrain is accelerating its pace in welcoming Chinese visitors.
