Bahrain Experiences Major Traffic Overflow Over The Weekend

ByHera Shabbir

The 2024 Air Show was nothing short of amazing this past weekend, with the grand finale wrapping up on Friday, November 15. The skies were alive with an incredible lineup of aircrafts from all over the world, including jaw-dropping displays by planes, jets, and helicopters from India, the United States, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and more! It was a thrilling spectacle for aviation lovers and families alike, who were in awe of the high-flying stunts and speed in the sky.

However, as much as everyone loved the event, there was one big hiccup of traffic. With so many people flocking to the show, the roads quickly became overwhelmed.

On Thursday and Friday, attendees were hit with serious traffic jams, with some stuck for hours just trying to get to the entrance

People reported long periods of stopping and starting, and for many, it felt like the drive was longer than the actual show!

Some visitors even missed the event entirely due to overcrowding

While the air show itself was a massive hit, the traffic overflow definitely put a damper on the experience for some.
