Be at the Formula 1 season opener

The Sakhir International Circuit is renowned for hair-raising overtaking with ideally placed grandstands to see it all. Bahrain’s most memorable race so far may have been 2014's classic, where Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg went toe-to-toe battling tirelessly lap after dramatic lap.

In recent years, the track has been the backdrop to George Russell's exhilarating Mercedes debut, an opening-round duel between Hamilton and title rival Max Verstappen, and Sergio Perez's memorable maiden win in the sport.

Away from the circuit, you can explore the Arab culture on this small, cosmopolitan island nation. From the luxury city of Manama, to rolling desert dunes and the stunning coast of the Arabian Sea, there is no place to race like Bahrain.
