Once iftar’s done and the breeze rolls in, nobody really wants to stay home. If you’re figuring out your plans during Ramadan 2026 in Bahrain, Manama Nights deserves a spot on that list. The event takes place at Bahrain National Theatre. Throughout the entire holy month, you can drop in and just go for a stroll and see what’s happening.
Here are 5 good reasons to visit Manama Nights during Ramadan 2026.
1. Live Entertainment
On most nights, there’s live music by local artists. You can sit with your friends, enjoy your food, and still have proper conversations while good tunes play in the background.
2. Local Cafés and Ramadan Snacks
Local cafés and small businesses will be serving pastries and light bites. You’ll likely spot khubz jibn being made fresh, along with other sweet and savoury options.
3. Themed Photo Booths
There will be themed photo areas where you can take pictures and print them on the spot. In past years, guests could try on traditional Bahraini clothing, get henna done, enjoy face painting, or sit for a quick sketch by a local artist.
4. Comfortable Seating
The venue includes boho tents, cabanas, and open seating areas facing the water.
5. Moonlight
A huge moon installation will light up the space, and it’s usually the first thing people notice (and photograph). In a previous edition, a screen above the water displayed the moon phases across the month. What are they planning for 2026? Still a secret but it surely won’t disappoint.
