Each site you visit earns you digital stamps, increasing your chances of winning fantastic monthly prizes.
Prizes include luxurious two-night stays in Bahrain for families or couples, covering accommodation, meals, spa treatments, and beach access. Additional perks like hotel vouchers and shopping mall gift cards make the experience even more rewarding.
Tourists can collect their passports at key locations like Bahrain International Airport, City Centre Bahrain Mall, or The Avenues. Each attraction has a QR code that, when scanned, adds a digital stamp to your passport, boosting your chances of winning in the monthly draws.
