The crime rate in Bahrain is low and violent crime is rare. However, like any other place in the world you need to follow general Health and Safety guidelines:

• Always follow the safety advice you receive from your embassy.
• Always follow local authority and police instructions or announcements for travelling around the island.
• Go exploring in groups rather than alone. If you do go out alone, advise a friend of your whereabouts and what time you are expected back.
• Do not keep large amounts of money or valuables at home.
• NEVER drink and drive – Bahrain has ZERO tolerance to alcohol and drugs of any kind and penalties are very severe.
• According to Bahraini law, you must always keep a form of photo Id on you at all times.
• If you are worried about your personal safety or that of a friend, you should immediately inform University Security or relevant staff members.
