1. Is it safe to work in Bahrain? How are the conditions there now?

Yes it is safe, you don't really have to worry about your safety in Bahrain, you would be fine

2. Will i cover my general expenses within this package (accomodation, travel, food, utility bills)??

Check this Post, it has a lot of useful information for you

3. I have a UAE driving License, will that be of any help in Bahrain or will i have to apply for it as a fresh candidate?

Until you get your residence permit, you can drive easily with the UAE driving license; once your residence permit is issued you would have to exchange the UAE driving license with a Bahraini one. The process to do so is very simple, this article is very informative in this regard

I just read the article on Driving License, one small doubt, to convert do i need to get the international license from UAE, or my local UAE license will do?

Your local UAE driving license will do

Hi Moving to Bahrain is good with the package. you will really realize 20% more for the same money here in Bahrain than in Dubai

For license, you can actually get license swapped.

I was quoting the previous post

I guess he meant Bahrain is 20% cheaper than you pay for the same stuff in Dubai - but I'm not sure if this is true. Bahrain is not particularly cheap.
