Long-term storage in Bahrain while you’re away
At Wadaya, we offer private, air-conditioned units in Tubli for storing your home’s contents while you’re away. You can keep furniture, appliances, boxes and clothes with us for a summer abroad, a posting that lasts years or the months before your next home is ready.
Your belongings stay in a unit secured with your own padlock, with air conditioning at 25°C day and night. You can rent month to month and manage the rental and payments from wherever you are.
When long-term storage makes sense
Long-term storage can help when you need to keep belongings for several months or longer.
- You’re working, studying or posted abroad for a year or more, and plan to come back.
- You’re spending the summer abroad and don’t want to keep renting your flat while you’re away.
- You’re on a deployment or contract abroad with no fixed return date.
- You need to store furniture while your new home is being built.
- You’ve moved in with family for now and want to keep your own furniture for later.
- You’ve moved to a smaller home and want to keep furniture that no longer fits.
- Family furniture or inherited belongings need a safe place while you decide what to keep.
How we protect and care for your belongings while you’re away
We provide air conditioning, security monitoring and daily cleaning at our Tubli facility throughout the year. You can manage your rental from abroad and arrange for someone you trust to collect belongings.
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. These conditions help protect sofas, mattresses, clothes and electronics from the heat and damp that can build up in a closed home.
A private unit with security monitoring
Your belongings are stored in a private unit secured with your own padlock. Monitored cameras and an alarm cover every corridor and unit door, and all recordings are backed up.
Clean and pest-controlled
We clean the facility every day and carry out pest control to help protect sofas, rugs and boxes from dust and insects while they’re stored.
For as long as you’re away
You can rent with us month to month and keep the unit until you’re back, even if your return date changes. You can also rent for six or twelve months at a time and pay in advance before you leave.
Manage your rental from abroad
Your agreement, invoices and payments are in your customer portal. We send each bill by text and email with a link to pay it, wherever you are.
Someone you trust can collect for you
You can leave the key with a family member or friend. They can visit Saturday to Thursday, 8:00 to 19:00, open the unit and collect items at your request.

What size storage unit do you need while you’re away?
Our units come in small, medium and large sizes. Start with the largest pieces and add space for boxes. If you won’t need regular access, you can pack the unit more closely, keeping anything someone may collect near the door.
- SUnder 3 m²
Boxes and suitcases
A small unit can hold boxes, suitcases and keepsakes, or a mattress with a few boxes. It suits the belongings one person may leave behind, with boxes stacked to make use of the height.
- M3 to 10 m²
A flat’s contents
A medium unit can hold the contents of a studio or one-bedroom flat, including furniture and appliances. Put larger pieces at the back, stack boxes beside them and keep anything someone may collect near the door.
- L10 m² and up
A family home
A large unit suits a two- or three-bedroom home. Arrange the furniture together, stack boxes and leave a path to the back so you can reach your belongings.

Long-term 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 long can I use a unit for long-term storage?
Our minimum rental is one month, and the rental continues month to month. That works for a summer away, a year-long posting or a return date that has not been fixed yet.
Can I manage the rental while I am abroad?
Yes. You rent, sign and pay online before leaving, then use My portal to see the rental and billing status from wherever you are.
Can someone collect something for me?
Yes. Anyone you trust with the key can visit during access hours. Put anything they may need near the door and give them the unit number and facility details before you leave.
How are belongings protected during a long stay?
Air conditioning runs 24/7 at 25°C, with sensors tracking temperature and humidity day and night. A professional Ubiquiti camera and alarm system actively covers every corridor and unit door, with recordings backed up automatically. For information about insurance, read storage insurance in Bahrain.
What size unit do I need while I am away?
A 1.5–3 m² unit suits boxes, luggage and a few small pieces. A one-bedroom home's furniture usually needs a medium unit, while a larger household needs more space. Use the size guide to compare the item and room examples.
How should I prepare furniture and appliances?
Clean and dry everything first. Use breathable furniture covers, defrost and drain appliances, leave appliance doors slightly open, remove batteries and keep an inventory of the packed unit.
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.
