8 Ghabgas In Bahrain To Book For A Traditional Ramadan Experience

Ramadan nights in Bahrain never fade away. They linger slowly, social and are fueled by Arabic coffee, feasting late at night with conversations that go well past midnight. Here’s a no-frills guide to eight ghabgas in Bahrain that feel special during Ramadan 2026.

8 Ghabgas In Bahrain That Are Worth Booking

1. Address Beach Resort

This is for people who are more interested in privacy than in noise, or in sea views rather than chandeliers. At Address Beach Resort, ghabga is quiet and intimate. Book a private beach cabana, bring your friends and enjoy a set menu which combines Ramadan staples and international comfort foods. There are no buffet queues and no crowd control.

Where: Address Beach Resort, Marassi, Al Bahrain
When: Every day, 9 pm–1 am
Cost: BD35 per person

2. Al Noor Tent

This is classic ghabga energy: busy, cheerful and built for families.
The Al Noor Tent at Elite Resort & Spa features a wide variety of live cooking stations, traditional Bahraini dishes, unlimited gahwa, and a dessert section for kids, which they love. It’s lively without being chaotic.

Where: Elite Resort & Spa, Muharraq
When: Thursday & Friday, sunset – 8 pm
Cost: From BD10.9 for adults, BD5 for kids

3. Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay

If there were a Ramadan address for elegance, this would be it. The Ramadan Tent at Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay is a marriage of luxury and size. You’ll find Arabic classics and international favourites as well as live stations dotted around a beautifully designed space overlooking Bahrain Bay. The Premium Experience includes full table service and a personalised butler.

Where: Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay, Manama
When: Every day, 9 pm–2 am
Cost: From BD42; Premium Experience from BD55

4. Hawar Resort by Mantis

Sometimes the best ghabga is not even in the city. Head to Hawar Resort by Mantis for serene island stays, iftars by the coastal and warm Ramadans by the sea. From serene escapes to memorable moments with family and friends, it is the perfect place to indulge in the Holy Month.

Where: Hawar Resort by Mantis, Hawar Islands
When: 9 pm–11 pm
Cost: BD18 per person

5. The Dome

Yes, it looks aesthetic in photos. Thankfully, the food keeps up. The Dome at Hilton Bahrain is an exquisite fusion of dynamic interiors and global cuisine with live cooking stations. Expect live entertainment, rotating themes, and a zero-waste approach that doesn’t feel preachy, but thoughtful. Ladies also get a good deal on some nights.

Where: Hilton Bahrain, Juffair
When: Sat–Wed 9:30 pm–1 am, Thu–Fri 9:30 pm–2 am
Cost: From BD28

6. Layali Khaleej Al Bahrain

This one is short, sweet and on the mark. The Layali Khaleej Al Bahrain ghabga at the Hilton Garden Inn Bahrain Bay during the second and third weeks of Ramadan. Expect a concentrated buffet of Arabic and international dishes, live cooking stations and a view over Bahrain Bay that never gets old.

Where: Hilton Garden Inn, Bahrain Bay, Manama
When: 2nd & 3rd weeks of Ramadan 10 pm – 1 am
Cost: BD25

7. InterContinental Bahrain

Not every Ramadan night requires spectacle. Some just need good food and relaxation.
Ghabga Hour at InterContinental Bahrain helps to deliver exactly that. A balanced buffet, live Arabic music and a relaxed crowd that actually sits and talks. A ladies’ night and themed nights bring a little extra buzz.

Where: InterContinental Bahrain, Manama
When: Every day, 9:30 pm–1 am
Cost: BD22 (kids 6–12: BD11; under 6 free)

8. Khaimat Al Khaleej

An original, who still knows how to put on a show. The Khaimat Al Khaleej at The Gulf Hotel combines a wide buffet, good live stations and traditional entertainment such as music with the qanun and the tanoura. It’s festive, it’s dependable, and it’s popular for a reason.

Where: The Gulf Hotel, Adliya
When: Sat–Wed 10 pm–1 am, Thu–Fri 10 pm–2 am
Cost: BD29 (Sat-Wed), BD32 (Thurs-Fri), BD16 (ladies night)

Before You Book

Weekends book up first, and premium tents do so early. If you’re looking to organise a group night, don’t leave it to the second half of the month of Ramadan, leaving it to luck.
