I didn't feel uncomfortable in BAH, whereas I did in more remote areas of Oman - both places I was travelling with a male friend, but this time I'll be going it alone (although I am seriously considering going on to Qatar just because it is different and there are a ton of flights that would be a simple add on).
Feel free to PM if you have further questions.

Thank you for posting this. Rarely are these kinda things one-way streets. I had heard that the Israelis wouldn't care and thought it sounded unlikely...

Just a question but do you guys really go on long airplane rides just to collect mileage points???
Isn't the stopover for the plane flight like 1 hour of lingering at the airport, then coming back home all for just 20,000 mileage points?

By coincidence, today's TED talk that I received in my email. Thanks nomadic.relief for the info as well.
Apparently it is only Saudi Arabia where it might be an issue.

I dont realy understand people who find long haul flights so horrible,in my experience any Y flight over,say 5 hours,actualy lasts forewer,-and then it stops. The trick is to drastically lower your expectations,preferably to zero!!!!
