Hi Pramod.

Welcome to Bahrain , as few of our friend suggested here , it is always possible to negotiate your first offer and get better deal. The money you are getting is OK , not great you can manage your expanses and can save some  money too.

as you know most of your queries are already answered in different threads on this forum , however i will still try to answer here from an Indian's prospective , I'm also new comer to Bahrain , moved here around a month back with my spouse and 3+ yr son.
I live in Juffair , which is really nice area , you will find lot of Indian and American expats here. Few basic expanses are:
You can get a nice fully furnished 2 BHK flat in 400-500 BD( which anyways has been covered by your employer) .
Schooling in DPS for your kid will cost you around 100-110 BD per month
Car rental depend on the choice of the car however as I see you don’t have DL so it will take quite a lot of time for you to get DL , by that time you will good idea about cars n their rental
Getting driving license is really a big deal here! , it may take at least 3 month ( if you are lucky ) to get the DL , taxis are not cheap , however you can find cheaper options too

Apart from this monthly expenses are completely depend on your life style for a it may cost somewhere 200 -300 BD for a good life style where you can eat out weekly.

hope this helps !

Akhil

You'll live comfortably but won't save much.Transportation is expensive either by taxi or by a private driver.

Your company may provide bus or you can get private "taxi" for a couple of BD. A lot of people hire out their transport very cheaply
