I'm having trouble finding out whether an Isreali stamp will cause trouble if i stopover in Bahrain. I read on a thread which said it won't, but I also googled it and found that it would. Could anyone tell me for sure?
Bit worried cause flight is booked already
Happy travels everyone, thanks in advance.

I never heard of someone being denied entry to Bahrain because of an Israel stamp in their passport. Not only that, but I've heard of Israelis traveling to Bahrain under special circumstances.
I checked an official Bahraini web site about visa eligibility. No mention of Israel stamp.

The junior consulate staff wouldn't know for sure either way - especially if they are Israeli. The consul himself might not even know. If anything has changed in the last two years, it would be concerning Israelis, not other foreign nationals with an Israel stamp in their passports. Obviously, as an Israeli, I have no personal experience, but I don't have any reason to believe that you'll have a problem. Let's hear from someone with recent personal experience to be sure.
