Israel's Foreign Minister Yair Lapid is in Bahrain for the first official visit by an Israeli cabinet member to the Gulf kingdom since the countries established diplomatic ties last year.
Mr Lapid will open the new Israeli embassy and sign several agreements.
The first commercial flight from Manama to Tel Aviv took off after he landed.
Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco and Sudan normalised relations with Israel as part of US-brokered deals known as the Abraham Accords.
Until then only two Arab nations - Egypt and Jordan - had signed peace treaties with Israel.
