Delivery drivers in Bahrain continue to operate around the clock despite heavy rain and a backdrop of regional tensions, ensuring essential services remain uninterrupted.

Last few days have been additionally heavy, with persistent rainfall and thunderstorms.

Food, groceries and essential items are still reaching homes, often delivered by riders who push through long hours, siren alerts and changing weather conditions to meet demand.

For many drivers, the job has never been easy, but recent days have added new strain, working through thunder, strong winds and disrupted traffic, often late into the night and early morning hours.

Yet, the work continues, quietly and without attention.

“On days like this, everything takes longer on the road,” says a delivery rider in Manama.

“You have to be more careful, but people are still waiting for their orders, so you just keep going. Delivering by car is a bit more manageable in these conditions, while bikes can be more challenging and riskier in heavy rain.”
