Don't know if this has been covered before - didn't see anything in the archives.
American Express has a deal offering Middle Eastern lounge membership to those of us living in the area. For Bahrain, the charge is 35 BD a year (about $90) and offers lounge access lounges listed below.
It looks like a nice gap filler between other lounge memberships and Priority Pass. I'm going to give it a go and will report results.
Details from American Express:
