Manama: Under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, the Kingdom of Bahrain will host the inaugural Royal Bahrain Concours on November 7-8 at the Royal Golf Club. This international event will feature 90 of the world's collector cars alongside 300 vehicles from GCC-based car clubs.
According to Bahrain News Agency, the Royal Bahrain Concours provides a platform that celebrates automotive heritage, bringing together enthusiasts, collectors, and connoisseurs globally. The two-day programme includes The Grand Arrival on November 7, followed by exhibition, awards presentations, and exclusive experiences.
The event will solidify Bahrain's position as a regional hub for automotive events, attracting a community of motor enthusiasts. With its debut, the Royal Bahrain Concours joins prestigious events in the US and Europe, positioning Bahrain as a new destination on the global concours calendar.
James Brooks-Ward, Chairman of the Royal Bahrain Concours, stated, "The Royal Bahrain Concours is set to be the number one Concours in the whole of the GCC. Bahrain is known as the home of motoring, having been the first GCC country to welcome Formula One."
The inaugural Concours underscores Bahrain's reputation as a hub of culture and luxury. Already home to the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix, the Kingdom is increasingly recognised as a destination where tradition meets modernity. Visitors will discover a vibrant culinary scene, luxury resorts, and Arabian hospitality.
The event will take place over two days. "Prestige Day" on November 7 will showcase leading cars on the Concours stage along with luxury shopping experiences. "Awards Day" on November 8 will highlight the announcement of all class winners and the Best of Show award. Visitors can enjoy an exhibition of 400 vehicles, shopping, and food options.
Tickets are limited and available now. Guests are encouraged to secure access early to experience this landmark occasion in Bahrain's social and cultural calendar.
