You might get away with it, but it's not worth the risk if you're involved in an accident or something.
If you have no iqama, then act like you don't have the license. Rent a car with your own national ID, if you don't have one you could try to convert the Saudi license but it's not really going to work. It's easier to convert a "Western" license. You can check on the bahrain traffic directorate website.

Hi,

You can convert it to a Bahraini driving license. Unfortunately the website is in Arabic
http://www.traffic.gov.bh/licenses/Dupl … g-license/

and this is the process
