Document and archive storage in Bahrain
Wadaya offers private, air-conditioned document storage in Tubli. We have space for contracts, invoices, accounting records and archive boxes, from a family’s papers to a company’s records.
Your boxes are kept at 25°C, day and night, in a unit locked with your own padlock. When you need a file, come during access hours and take it off the shelf yourself, with no request form and no retrieval fee.
When a private archive unit helps
Our archive units give you space for records you need to keep, whether you use them often or only occasionally.
- Archive boxes fill the cabinets, the corners or a whole room in the office.
- You rent a bigger office, or a separate storeroom, mainly to hold old files.
- Your company keeps years of records and has no storeroom of its own.
- The files are rarely opened, but one may be needed at short notice for an audit, a client or a dispute.
- The papers are confidential and shouldn’t sit where anyone can open them.
- The office is moving, being refitted or getting smaller, and you need a temporary place for the archive.
- At home, bank statements, school certificates and property papers have outgrown the cupboard.
Secure, air-conditioned document storage you can reach yourself
We provide private units for your records, with air conditioning, monitored security, daily cleaning and pest control. You can collect and return files yourself during access hours.
Kept at 25°C all year
Our air conditioning runs day and night at 25°C, and sensors track temperature and humidity even when the facility is closed. This helps protect paper from the heat and damp that can cause curling and mould during Bahrain’s summer.
Only you hold the key
Your archive has a unit of its own, locked with your padlock. Our monitored cameras and alarm cover every corridor and unit door, and every recording is backed up.
Take out any file yourself
Come Saturday to Thursday, 8:00 to 19:00, open the unit and take the box you need. There is no request form, no retrieval fee and no waiting for someone else to fetch it.
Clean and pest-controlled
We clean the facility every day and provide pest control throughout to help protect your boxes from dust and insects that can damage paper.
Room for shelving
Our units run from 1.5 to 25 m², and most are 2.1 m high. Freestanding shelving can use the full height and still leave an aisle to every box.
Rent in your company’s name
Rent month to month, or for six or twelve months at a time. The agreement and invoices are issued to your business and kept in your customer portal.

Choosing the right size
Tell us roughly how many boxes you have and how often you need them. We’ll suggest a unit that fits your archive, so you don’t rent more space than you need.
Planning the shelving
Our manager can help you plan a shelving layout that uses the unit’s height, leaves a clear aisle and keeps the files you use most near the door.
Moving in
Park at the door and use our trolleys, free of charge, to bring the boxes and shelving inside.
Changing size later
If your archive grows, or you shred old records, we can help you switch to a larger or smaller unit when one is available.
What size storage unit does your archive need?
We offer small, medium and large units. Count your boxes and think about how often you’ll need them, then choose a size that leaves room for shelving and an aisle.
- SUnder 3 m²
A compact archive
You can fit one run of shelving along the back wall, or stack boxes if you rarely need them. This size suits a small firm’s records from previous years or a household’s papers.
- M3 to 10 m²
An office archive
You can place shelving along two or three walls with an aisle down the middle, keeping every box in reach. This size suits a company’s records or files stored during an office refit.
- L10 m² and up
A full records room
A large unit has room for rows of shelving with aisles between them. It can hold records from several departments or many years of client files, with space to keep them organised.

Document storage questions
What type of storage facility should I choose in Bahrain?
Choose Wadaya Self Storage if you need smaller spaces for personal belongings or small-business stock. Whether you’re moving home, leaving Bahrain, storing student belongings between terms or making room for a growing business, you can rent month to month and stay for months or years. Bahrain’s heat and humidity put furniture, clothing, electronics and documents at risk of mold and moisture damage. Wadaya’s facility is designed for these everyday storage needs, with air conditioning running 24/7 at 25°C.
Choose a traditional warehouse if you need more than 50 m², forklift access or space for industrial operations. Traditional warehouses in Bahrain usually start at 200 m² or more and often require annual or longer leases. That makes them better suited to industrial-scale needs and less practical for smaller loads, personal belongings or short-term storage. For food, chemicals or goods requiring special handling, choose a specialist warehouse equipped for those requirements.
How many archive boxes fit in a unit?
A 1.5–3 m² unit can hold a compact archive with shelving, while larger units fit more rows of shelves and a wider working aisle. The number of boxes depends on their size and the shelving you use. Most units are 2.1 m high; compare their dimensions and floor plans in the size guide.
How are paper records protected from Bahrain's humidity?
Air conditioning runs 24/7 at 25°C, while sensors track temperature and humidity day and night. This keeps archive boxes away from the hot, damp conditions that curl paper, cause stains and grow mold.
Who can access the archive?
The unit is locked with your own lock and you hold the key. A colleague or assistant you trust can visit during access hours if you give them the key.
How do I retrieve a file?
Come to the unit during access hours, find the labelled box and take the file you need. There is no retrieval request or per-box collection charge because you control the archive yourself.
Can we put shelving in the unit?
Yes. Fit shelving that suits the archive boxes and use the full height, 2.1 m in most units. Shelving around the walls with a clear centre aisle keeps every box reachable.
Can we rent in the company's name and get invoices?
Yes. Rent in the company name, and invoices are available for your records. The business storage page covers stock, tools and equipment as well.
Do you scan or deliver documents?
We provide private self storage, not document scanning or delivery. You organise, retrieve and return the files yourself, so the archive stays directly under your control.
How do I rent a unit?
Browse sizes and prices on the site. Book and pay online in minutes. You can also visit us in Tubli, and the facility manager will help you choose.
What are the access hours?
We're open Saturday to Thursday, 8:00 to 19:00, and closed Friday. For holiday changes, check our Google Maps listing.
Do I need my own lock?
Bring your own padlock, or get one from us at the facility. Either way, you hold the only key.
Is anything not allowed?
Most household and business items are fine. Not allowed: flammable or toxic materials, weapons, drugs and medicine, food, money, plants and animals, and anything illegal to possess in Bahrain.
