- Accommodation : Im going to chose family accommodation with 01/ 02 Bed room at Gudaibia Area. Please advise average rental this area. Also if i choose accommodation with out electricity & water monthly average bill for the same.

Gudaibiya is a highly residential area. But most buildings there are slightly old. You may get some reasonable deals there. Don't limit yourself to Gudaibiya only, unless it is close to your work place or some other similar reason.

Rent will be around BD200 for a 2 bedroom apartment. Monthly electricity and water bill will be about BD 15 - 20. Municipal taxes are 10% of your rent.

You can share - no restrictions. Lot of people live in shared accommodation.

But there may be complications with address for CPR card. There are ways to resolve this.

Difficult to say. Different employers have different scales. Some will be low salaries and some pay very high. Depends on employer,.

Thanks for your informative cclarification..

Let me advice if Rent is 200 BD. + how much total electricity& water + municipal tax=

Taxes are every month to  be paid to council? Pls advise

I would like to keep my housing budget  max 230 BD..

As Farhaz mentioned on his post the approximate electricity & water would be around 15-20 BHD per month, and 10% municipal tax also per month, so if your rent is 200BHD 10% of 200BHD which is 20 BHD per month add 20BHD (electricity & water) approx, in total 240BHD approx.
