Good Morning

Alright 160 BD is low , try asking for anything above 250 atleast .
Good thing is that you are getting transport and housing .

Well , it's totally upto you to accept the offer or not .

How's the pay in Jamaica ?

If you believe it's a good pay in Bahrain , come over , get some experience working in the GCC .

Work your way up the ladder :)

Bahrain is a beautiful place to live in .

At work i think it will be shirt and trouser, but outside i have seen ladies with all type of dresses

Dress code, long gown ( Abaya)

It's a traditional dress for women in most Arab countries.

You're not forced to wear it, like in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain is rather liberal and people wear anything they want, in a decent way.

Thanks for that
