Travellers cheques: 

The use of traveller’s cheques in Bahrainis becoming increasingly uncommon. It has become difficult to find a restaurant or a shop that accept traveller's cheques. While the exchange rate for traveller's cheques isn't very satisfying at hotels, banks charge a commission for the service. To avoid additional exchange rate charges, travellers are advised to take traveller's cheques in US Dollars.

Banking hours: 

Sun-Thu 0730-1500. Government offices, businesses and most offices are closed on Friday, which is a weekly holiday. International banks are open from 07:30 to 19:30, and some national banks are open between 8am to 4pm.

Currency restriction: 

There are no restrictions on the import or export of local or foreign currency.

Currency exchange: 

Currency can be exchanged at the airport, at most hotels and in banks and bureaux de change. Rates are more preferential at the bureaux de change than at the airport or at hotels.
