Bahrain Bus 14: Best Complete Guide – Zallaq to Salman City

Bahrain Bus 14 connects Zallaq (الزلاق), a coastal area in southern Bahrain known for its beaches and resorts, to Salman City, passing through the University of Bahrain, Souq Waqif, and Janabiya along the way. Bahrain Bus Route 14 was updated by BPTC as part of the July 2026 network changes, with its destination changed from the previous “Northern City” to the current “Salman City.”

About Bahrain Bus  14

Zallaq is home to some of Bahrain’s most popular beach resorts and the Al Dar Islands ferry terminal, making Bahrain Bus Route 14 a useful option for beachgoers without a car. From there, the route passes the University of Bahrain and Lawzi before reaching Souq Waqif and Al Liwan, then continuing through Janabiya and Budaiya toward Salman City.

This is one of the longer routes in the BPTC network, connecting Bahrain’s southern coastal area to the northern and central residential zones in a single trip.
