Whilst I have no idea about the 'average' rates on offer in Bahrain, I would say that the accommodation allowance looks a little low.

All I can suggest is that you have a look through The Definitive Guide to Bahrain here: https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=231960 for an idea of costs etc.

Here is a link for housing searches based on a maximum of 300 to give you an idea of the cost of renting.bahrainpropertyworld.com/search_for-1_rent_property_null_bahrain_1_area_null_bedrooms_null_bathrooms_null_furnished_null_0_300_null_nosort_true_true.html

Hope this helps
