[MANAMA] Bahrain Day Trip from Dammam

Landing in Dammam was an option. With the emergence of Wizz Air in the UAE LCC scene, a short and cheap flight from Abu Dhabi to either Manama or Dammam is now possible. The thing is, I wasn’t sure whether Bahrain would honor their VoA policy for holders of US, Canada, UK, and Schengen visa holders. If they don’t, that means I’d have to fly back to AUH which I could no longer do because my UAE visa is single entry only. Landing in Dammam did not have this problem because I have a valid ME Saudi visa anyway. From Dammam, the RT bus ticket via SAPTCO is BHD15 (~PHP2,250).
