Camping Essentials in Bahrain

What we call ‘winter’ in Bahrain is actually a pleasant spring-like weather. And what do we do during that time? We go camping! And while many choose to camp in one of the many camping sites that open their doors during camping season, if you decide to venture out into the desert, here are a few things to remember and consider.

Location:

Most of the camping happens at Sakheer Desert, which is the number one location where camp sites are set up and visited.

What to bring:

The list of items to bring with you on a camping trip includes many things, but some specifics to remember when going on a trip include, tents, sleeping bags, cooler, first aid kit, sunscreen, toilet paper, flashlights and insect repellent.

What to Eat:

If you’re going to be grilling, then make sure you have all the equipment you need, in addition to the food you’ll be cooking. If grilling is not on the itinerary, then pack meals at home that won’t spoil in the weather; sandwiches and salads are a good idea, as are pastries and different types of snacks (s’mores anyone?). Remember, water, juices and beverages are essential!

Check Your Car:

Before heading out on your adventure, make sure your car is in good condition to handle the terrain. Check the brakes, tires, oil and water pressure for a safe and fun trip. You will also have to deflate your tires a little when entertaining the sand dunes.

Entertain Your Kids:

Make sure you bring toys and games for the kids to enjoy, including water-related games or items.

Fully Charged Phones:

Your phones will also serve as a GPS should it be needed, so make sure you have a fully charged phone and a portable charger as well.

Remember, the above only applies if you will not be staying at one of the many campsites that will be popping up, because there, you will be able to find everything you need!
