How to write a Bahraini address

One of the oldest civilizations in the Middle East calls Bahrain home. The Dilmun people date back more than 4,000 years! One of Bahrain's most intriguing features is the Shajarat al-Hayat, a mesquite tree in the middle of the desert that’s believed to be over 400 years old. I know your thoughts: You want to know how to address a letter to Bahrain. Have no fear! We've collected some Bahraini address examples for you to look at, as well as tools to help validate any address in the world.

With a suite of address validation tools for addresses worldwide, Smarty is the best source for location data. Simply enter any Bahraini address, and you get it back formatted, standardized, and validated faster than you can say "Formula 1." Address formatting in Bahrain can be written out as follows:

  1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles for the area.
  2. Building number - The building or house number goes on its own line.
  3. Street - The street the address is on.
  4. City - The city goes on its own line.
  5. Country - This is often shortened to BHR.
