Where to Buy a SIM Card at Bahrain International Airport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several options for purchasing SIM cards: landside (before passing immigration) and airside (after immigration) at Bahrain International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main providers in Bahrain are Batelco and Zain. Both offer prepaid SIM cards, eSIMs, and local data packages suitable for travelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-landside\">1. Landside<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have not passed through immigration and customs yet, head to one of the Batelco or Zain stores or booths located on the Departures level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Batelco and Zain desks can be found in the check-in hall area of Terminal 1. There are also stores after checking in your luggage but before immigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purchasing a SIM card landside allows you to insert it into your phone and set it up before you arrive in Bahrain. This ensures connectivity as soon as you turn your device on after landing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-airside\">2. Airside<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After passing through immigration, there are additional Batelco and Zain stores and booths in the duty-free shopping area. These are located throughout the departure gates section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting a SIM card airside means you will not have service until after claiming your luggage and activating the SIM. However, the stores may have a better selection and offers for prepaid plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vending machines operated by Batelco and Zain also dispense prepaid SIM cards with preloaded credit airside. These allow self-service activation but have fewer plan options compared to the stores.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/bahrainesim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/05\/Bahrain-International-Airport-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Bahrain International Airport\" class=\"wp-image-3886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bahrainesim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/05\/Bahrain-International-Airport-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bahrainesim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/05\/Bahrain-International-Airport-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bahrainesim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/05\/Bahrain-International-Airport-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bahrainesim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/05\/Bahrain-International-Airport-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/bahrainesim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/05\/Bahrain-International-Airport.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Bahrain International Airport. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bahrainairport.bh\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.bahrainairport.bh\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Source<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-ggg-custom-block-1tzbEl wp-block-lazyblock-ggg-custom-block\"><div class=\"ggg-custom-shortcode gigago-block-blue\">\n    <div class=\"ggg-shortcode-content\">\n        <p><em>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/bahrainesim.com\/airport-sim-card\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"3514\">Buying a SIM Card at Bahrain Airports: The Definitive Guide<\/a><\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ii-bahrain-international-airport-sim-card-options-and-costs\">II.
