CAA Bahrain — Civil Aviation Regulation 006

Bahrain requires a permit from the CAA (Civil Aviation Affairs) for any drone operation in Bahraini airspace, under Civil Aviation Regulation 006.

⛔ Tourist flying effectively not allowed

Per the official page, as of 28 March 2026 all drone activities and related approvals in Bahrain are suspended until further notice: currently no drone flight, even with a permit, is allowed. Check the current status on the official site before travelling.

Operator registration

Yes, required

A permit from Civil Aviation Affairs (CAA) is required for any drone operation. Official contact: drone.team@mtt.gov.bh.

Pilot license

Not required

No separate certificate appears on the official page consulted: the only verified requirement is the CAA permit needed to operate.

Zones to avoid

The official page doesn't specify detailed zones: since a permit is required for any operation regardless, in practice no airspace is freely accessible without prior CAA authorization (currently suspended, see above).

What isn't 100% confirmed yet

Maximum altitude, weight thresholds and insurance are not stated on the official page consulted: left out rather than inferred from secondary sources.
