Yellow fever certificate
Arriving from Ghana, a yellow fever certificate is required: WHO lists Ghana as a transmission risk.
Driving on a Ghana license
Bahrain and Ghana are both party to the 1949 Geneva Convention, so an International Driving Permit issued in Ghana is one Bahrain is bound to recognize.
Whether a permit is required alongside your national license is set by national road law, which we have not checked for this pair.
