Bahrain Intl (Muharraq)

1Final 30

A small park lies along the water directly under finals for both runways 30. Both the parking lot and the beach will accomodate cars. Spotting and photography are good here and do not seem to upset locals. However, there may be trouble if passers-by start giving overdone reports about your activities to the police.

2Terminal

Before check-in there is not much to see here, but once airside many aircraft can be logged and even photographed from the departure lounge. This has windows along a large part of the main apron. Sometimes, security will allow taking photos from here.

3Cargo area

Several roads between the businesses lead to spots where a handful of registrations may be read. Photography is possible now and then but likely not appreciated.

4Final 12L

A little away from the aiport (and the military terminal situated on this side!) this spot along the water offers a view on landings from the west. Departures in opposite direction are visible too but quite high for photos. Helos departing from the West Apron can often be read off here.

5North side

All along this road aircraft come into view and often can be logged with suitable optics. The use of these however will attract curious looks and perhaps worse. Photography is no option here.
