Can I suggest that you look at the Definitive Guide to Bahrain for New Expats thread and the Bahrain Cost of Living thread since these should help to answer your question.

Should you have further queries after reading these then please do ask, please also bear in mind that different people have different standards of living.

Note also that US $700 is approximately 264 BHD.

All the best

Hello all

@sevda11 : You can place an advert in our : Rooms for rent in Bahrain to get the price of rental and see if it will fit your monthly budget.

Also I invite you to read others threads in our Cost of Living in Bahrain section so as to gather some infos and get to know the basic cost of living there.

You can survive on this salary. But only barely.

Accommodation will be shared and food and entertainment will be basic.

Also keep in mind, medical costs can be high in Bahrain
