Hello Cheryl,

re: cost of liv in Bahrain…

in my case:

• i own my flat.  i just pat a yearly maintenance fee of BD487/- based on apartment size.
• Electricity & Water depends on season; in summer can go up to BD130 more or less and in winter BD20+;
• Food and other kitchen-bathroom related items, about BD100+ (as a single)
• yearly vehicle related expenses (service BD110; car wash BD20; registration BD33; 3rd part insurance BD52…etc);
• Miscellaneous expenses:  clothing,  entertainment,  travels etc…cannot quantify…depends, since it does not fall within basic expenses.

However, one can find a more detailed “cost of living expenses” for any country…just google.

Hope this helps!
