Desert & camping · Sakhir, Bahrain
Winter camping in the Sakhir desert, by registration with the Southern Governorate.
Bahrain's favourite winter tradition: a tent, a fire and the desert sky.
The annual Sakhir camping season in Bahrain typically begins in late autumn (mid-October to November) and runs through the cooler winter months until late winter or early spring (late February to late March). The season transforms the Sakhir Desert into a major winter hub for residents and tourists seeking an escape into nature rooted in Bedouin cultural legacy
