Bahrain addresses use numbers, not street names: a flat or house number, a building number, a road number and a block number, followed by the area name and its 3 or 4 digit postal code. This guide shows the correct Bahrain address format with examples, how to find your block number, what to type into online-shop forms, and how to fix a failed delivery fast.
Thousands of customers and stores across Bahrain and the GCC trust Oreem for fast, reliable delivery and international shipping.
Bahrain uses a numbered block and road system instead of named streets. Each line of the address narrows the location down, from the country to your front door. A typical home address reads: House 916, Road 2035, Riffa 926, Bahrain — the example the Universal Postal Union gives for Bahrain. Flats add the flat number and the building number on the first line.
The Bahrain Address Format — 3 Key Numbers:
Flat or house number and building number Road number, for example Road 2035 Block number, then the area name and postal codeBahrain postal codes are 3 or 4 digits, written to the right of the area name, and the first digits identify the region. According to the Universal Postal Union, valid codes run from 1XX to 12XX — for example Manama 317 or Riffa 926. There is no single postcode for a whole city: each block has its own number, so the code for Muharraq, Isa Town, Hamad Town, Hidd or Tubli depends on the block you live in. That is why the block number on your address matters more than the city name.
Your block number is already on paperwork you have. Check the number plate on your building where one is fitted, your tenancy contract, a utility bill or other official letters sent to your home. Your landlord or building watchman will also know it. If you are still unsure, drop a pin on Google Maps and share it with the courier together with your road and building number — the pin plus the numbers is the most reliable combination.
Most failed deliveries come down to a few small gaps: a missing flat or building number, no block number, a phone number that is switched off or missing the +973 code, nobody at home, a gated compound that needs the gate or security desk informed, or a map pin dropped in the wrong place. Area names written differently in Arabic and English can also send a parcel to the wrong neighbourhood. Fix these and almost every parcel arrives the first time.
Missed a courier? Act quickly. Answer the call or WhatsApp message from the delivery team, confirm your full address with the block number, share a live location pin and a nearby landmark, and agree a new time or a person who can receive the parcel for you. With Oreem you follow every parcel with live tracking, and our team re-attempts and reschedules any missed delivery — just message us on WhatsApp.
International checkout forms rarely fit the Bahrain format, so map it like this: Address line 1 = flat, building and road number. Address line 2 = block number and area. City = your area, such as Manama or Riffa. Postcode = your block number. State or region = your governorate (Capital, Muharraq, Northern or Southern). Country = Bahrain. Phone = your mobile with +973. Parcels arriving from abroad are generally subject to a 5% GCC customs duty on the CIF value plus 10% VAT, which Oreem clears for you.

Once your address is right, Oreem brings parcels from abroad to your door in Bahrain — customs cleared, tracked, and with cash on delivery. Pick your origin:
A Bahrain address lists the flat or house number and building number, then the road number, then the block number, followed by the area name with its postal code and the country. For example: House 916, Road 2035, Riffa 926, Bahrain. Also add a mobile number with +973.
Bahrain has no single postal code. Instead, codes are 3 or 4 digits written after the area name, and they change from block to block. For example, Manama 317 and Riffa 926. So, in most online forms you enter your block number as the postcode.
First, check the number plate on your building, your tenancy contract or a utility bill. Next, ask your landlord or building watchman. Finally, if you are still unsure, share a Google Maps pin with the courier along with your road and building number.
Usually, a delivery fails because the block or flat number is missing, the phone is off or missing +973, nobody is home, or the map pin is wrong. Contact the courier, confirm the full address and agree a new delivery time.
Yes. Our team re-attempts and reschedules any missed delivery. Simply message us on WhatsApp with your tracking details, confirm your address and a suitable time, and we deliver it to your door.
