Scams to watch for in Bahrain
- Taxi overcharging and trips without the meterA driver asks for an inflated fare or takes the trip without using the meter. Most taxis use meters, but excessive price demands still happen. Reports of extreme overcharging are occasional.
- Poor hotel exchange rates for Saudi riyalsSaudi riyals are widely accepted at about 10 riyals to one Bahraini dinar. Some hotels may give a worse rate, costing you a few percent. Change may be returned in dinars.
- Imitation branded watches in souqsSouqs sell watches described as “rolexes”. Treat these as a warning about authenticity. Negotiating a price does not establish that a branded item is genuine.
