Bahraini Visa Price Slashed By 80%

With the emergence of infrastructural growth throughout the Middle East, the Gulf states are energetically vying to attract tourism. Dubai is currently the 'go to' destination in the Middle East with a collection of world class malls, restaurants and hotels including the much touted Burj Al Arab, Atlantis Resort and famed Japanese restaurant Zuma. To compete in this race to attract more tourists Bahrain has invested billions in infrastructure and to sweeten the deal they have slashed visa fees by 80%. The earlier tourist visa fee was 25 Bahraini Dinars and has now been reduced to only 5. This reduction in visa fees along with the Bahraini governments efforts to increase tourism might just make this country the new shining star of the Middle East.
