Thank you for the reply, I have checked but didn’t find an answer if I can rent a house based on my Saudi iqama,
I mean my husband’s iqama can we rent a house in Bahrain?
I’m sorry if this was repetitive but I didn’t find a clear answer either on google or here.

There is no clear answer because it is a grey area.

Legally speaking, landlords should ask for your Bahrain residence visa / CPR before renting to you.  However, landlords habitually rent to Saudi Iqama holders, especially for short rentals.   I wouldn't advise it in your situation as you won't be living there short term and would need to have a CPR to pretty much to do everything e.g. bank accounts, phones etc.

However, as an Iqama holder, you can get a paper CPR in Bahrain as well as a longer term visa.  The paper CPR will allow you to rent property without issue.
