how long to stay in Bahrain?

I will be in Manama and wondering if 3-4 days is too much/too little to stay in Manama. Thanks

I am interested in this as well. When are you visiting?
I am concerned with regards to the security situation and the increased hassles at immigration...any idea?

Bahrain is very small kingdom so max 1 week more then enough.

There really not much to do after few days of visiting the cultural places shopping centres you ready to live the place.

I was in Bahrain few years ago I spent 1 week in Bahrain it was more then enough for me.

I live in Saudi and visit Bahain regularly. I would not spend more than 3 or 4 days there. You could get away with 3 days probably. Don't know on the CAN visas issue but US citizens get a visa on arrival for a reasonable fee. Immigrations and customs there is usually a non-event.

Just spent two days in Manama over the Islamic New Year. Was enough for me :-) Not much to do, very laid back. Many Saudi visitors.

Security seems fine; some police cars parked at major intersections, otherwise I didn't see anything.
