Hi everyone,

Currently Iam living in London. I have been offered a job in Bahrain with the ministry and the salary expectation is around 3580BHD a month. I am single.

Can anybody please let me know whether this is enough to cover the renting of an appartment (2 Beds mini), hire a car, food,medical insurance and live comfortably there.

Many thanks guys!!!

Cheers

This is more than enough. Don't worry, 2 bed will cost you up to 700BD, an average car will be about 200BD. Food is cheap. You will have plenty to save.

Electricity and water are included as part of the rent if you are going to rent a fully furnished place. Some buildings also include the Internet but it can be pretty slow so you might want to subscribe to your own one about 30BD. Not many expats use landlines here, you would be better off getting a mobile, about 20BD a month.
