Bahrain Bus 44 & 45: Best Complete Guide – Manama Circular via Adliya, Umm al Hassam & Salmaniya

Bahrain Bus 44 and 45 form the network’s final circular pair, looping through Manama, Gudaibiya, Adliya, Umm al Hassam, Seqaya, and Salmaniya — Route 44 clockwise, Route 45 anticlockwise. Bahrain Bus Route 44/45 rounds out the central Manama circular family alongside Routes 10/11.

About Bahrain Bus 44 & 45

This pairing covers a tighter, more central loop than Routes 10/11, focusing on Manama’s immediate southern districts — Adliya, Umm al Hassam, and Seqaya — before reaching Salmaniya and returning. Umm al Hassam is a residential district known for its proximity to several embassies and international schools, while Seqaya is a smaller connecting neighborhood between Adliya and Salmaniya.

As with the other clockwise/anticlockwise pairs in the BPTC network (Routes 10/11), the choice between 44 and 45 comes down to which direction reaches your destination stop first, since both cover identical ground.

Fare and Tips

Both routes charge the standard 275 Fils GO Card fare. If Salmaniya Hospital is your destination, Route 45 reaches it earlier in the sequence; if Adliya is your priority, Route 44 gets there first.

Planning Your Trip on Routes 44 & 45

Since this pair completes the set of central Manama circular routes alongside 10/11, it’s worth knowing which loop actually serves your destination — 44/45 focuses on the tighter southern districts (Adliya, Umm al Hassam, Seqaya), while 10/11 covers the wider eastern circuit through Muharraq and Hidd. Confirming which loop you need before boarding saves a potentially long, unnecessary ride around the wrong circuit.

Seqaya, one of the smaller connecting stops on this loop, doesn’t see as much standalone traffic as Adliya or Salmaniya, functioning more as a waypoint between the two.
