This November, the Kingdom of Bahrain will take centre stage in the world of motoring elegance with the debut of the Royal Bahrain Concours, an event that promises to redefine automotive prestige in the region. Taking place on November 7–8, 2025, at the prestigious Royal Golf Club, Riffa Views, the Concours will gather an incredible collection of more than 400 vehicles, blending motoring heritage with modern innovation in a celebration unlike any other in the Gulf.
Held under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Bahrain, the Royal Bahrain Concours will showcase 90 of the world’s rarest collector cars and over 300 club vehicles from across the GCC — a line-up that spans from the earliest days of automotive craftsmanship to the future of hypercar engineering.
A Line-Up Like No Other
For enthusiasts and collectors alike, the Concours offers an unmissable opportunity to witness automotive artistry at its peak. From the sleek design of a prototype Koenigsegg to the timeless curves of vintage American classics and the rugged appeal of rare SUVs, the event represents the full spectrum of motoring excellence.
Each car tells its own story — of design, innovation, and passion. Whether it’s the elegant endurance of pre-war masterpieces, the precision of mid-century European craftsmanship, or the radical innovation of modern performance machines, the Royal Bahrain Concours will bring them together on one stage. It’s not just a showcase; it’s a dialogue between eras — where heritage meets horsepower.
“The Royal Bahrain Concours is set to be the number one Concours in the whole of the GCC,” says James Brooks-Ward, Chairman of the Royal Bahrain Concours. “Bahrain is known as the home of motoring, having been the first GCC country to welcome Formula One. It’s the most natural place for the motoring world to converge in November.”
Beyond the Cars: A Complete Experience
But the Royal Bahrain Concours isn’t only about the vehicles — it’s about the experience. The Royal Golf Club will transform into an elegant outdoor gallery, offering a setting that blends refined luxury with Arabian hospitality. Guests will enjoy a curated weekend of exclusive exhibitions, live judging, fine dining, and premium retail experiences, designed to create an atmosphere of true distinction.
The event will open on Friday, November 7, with The Prestige Day — an opportunity to view the leading concours cars as they take the stage, accompanied by luxury shopping and entertainment. Saturday, November 8, will feature Awards Day, where class winners and “Best of Show” will be crowned in front of an audience of collectors, enthusiasts, and international press.
Bahrain: The Perfect Host
Already home to the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix, the Kingdom’s motoring credentials are unquestionable. Yet, the Concours marks something new — a celebration not of speed, but of style, legacy, and craftsmanship. It’s a statement of Bahrain’s growing influence as a hub for culture, design, and luxury experiences in the GCC.
And for visitors, the allure goes far beyond the showground. Bahrain offers a vibrant mix of heritage and modernity, from its UNESCO World Heritage sites to contemporary luxury resorts and fine dining. The Royal Bahrain Concours is an invitation to discover not just extraordinary cars, but a destination defined by warmth, sophistication, and Arabian charm.
The Royal Bahrain Concours takes place 7–8 November 2025 at the Royal Golf Club, Riffa Views. Tickets are limited — reserve yours now at royalconcours.com to experience this once-in-a-lifetime gathering of automotive artistry.
