I have two kids age 13 and 9 and my wife. The salary is 2000BHD.
Kindly advice to go for it or not.
Will it be hand to mouth to lead my family.
My lifestyle is average not too high.

Kindly advice.

Kevin,

I would suggest that you have a look at the Cost of Living thread here: https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=337348 since that should help to answer your question, this type of query comes up rather a lot!! ;)

You do not say whether your employer is going to be covering medical insurance etc.

Please come back with any queries you have and we will do our best to assist.

TTFN

Its going to be a struggle ... Not! :)

You can lead a comfortable life style with that income. Please read the links referred to above as this topic has been beaten to death on the Bahrain Forum.

Best wishes.

2,000 BHD is not a bad salary. What about the accommodation? You probably need a 2-3 bedroom flat so prepare to spend anything above 500 BHD per month for the flat.

You will be fine - not a luxury lifestyle with a ton of savings but you can live comfortably if you don't go crazy on an expensive villa and cars.

Good luck.
