City Centre Bahrain Implements New Rule for Unaccompanied Minors
In a surprising new move, Bahrain City Centre has announced that all minors must now be accompanied by an adult while visiting the mall. This announcement has sparked a whirlwind of reactions from residents across Bahrain—ranging from cheers to frustration!
New rules!
If you’re planning on dropping by City Centre Bahrain with kids or teenagers, be sure to bring along an adult. This new rule means no more solo strolls for young ones looking to pass time.
A mixed bag of emotions
As with any major change, social media has been buzzing with reactions! Some users are thrilled, celebrating what they view as a long-overdue decision to maintain order and security in the mall. One commenter expressed their relief, saying, “Best news I’ve heard in a long time.” Another even joked, “I used to pray for moments like this!”
One user even joked about an “escape plan” for adults: “Let an adult in, then let the adult leave through a different gate!”

Frustration versus approvals
This rule is clearly dividing opinions online. Some residents believe the move will help reduce chaos in the mall, especially on weekends. “It’s so hectic when there are no adults around; you can’t disagree with that,” commented one user.
On the other hand, some think the rule is restrictive, especially for older teens who have always had the freedom to shop or hang out on their own. However, with an adult companion now required, some families may feel this rule adds unnecessary hassle.
Why this new rule?
City Centre Bahrain hasn’t officially commented on the specific reasons behind this decision, but it’s safe to assume they aim to enhance the safety and overall shopping experience. Other malls and shopping centers worldwide have implemented similar policies to create a more controlled environment, especially during busy times.
