Welcome to Bahrain in advance

So what you are asking is can a family of 4 live on BD1100/month? It is always difficult to gauge this as people have different living standards and expectations. From my experience I would say yes you should be able to do this comfortably (someone will correct me if I am wrong).

A two bedroom fully furnished flat with all bills included should be anything from BD300+ depending on your living standard

I don't know what you define a "normal car" to be but the cheapest I have seen is BD129 for a 5 door, obviously can be a lot higher depend on what model you want.

Im guessing you saying "Cooking at home all the three time" means you want an estimate on food budget. I personally spend BD90 on my own on food in a month (including alcohol) I know a fair estimate cant say just times that by 4 to get your value but ide say BD250 should be the max without alcohol.

Restaurants vary from BD5per person per meal to BD20 per person per meal and even higher if you like.

I don't know what schools cost in Bahrain but I know there is an Indian school in Al Riffa if you want to research that one.

I hope this help you make a decision, if you have any other questions just ask

Thanks for prompt response with details.
Normal car means five door Zedan as you mentioned.
Regarding schools, I will look into your input.

My office location is at Al Musallah, Road 1161. Could you know this location? Can you please tell me which is safest and good residential area nearby my office location?

Am also looking forward to have more input from others.

Thanks

Is there any way these can be made a sticky again?  They need to be referenced nearly daily and it would be helpful to have them at the top of the forum like they used to be.

Thanks, Logical!  You are always on top of these!

No worries I am sure more will comment soon to help you.
Ok then you should have no problem finding something like that for a good price.

I know where it is, travel wise you could live anywhere and be able to drive there in under 30 mins so that shouldn't be much of an issue. If you check websites you should get an idea of where would suit you a number of places spring to my mind: Adliya, Juffair, Riffa (which is close and includes an Indian school), Saar, Janabiya, Seef etc. happy hunting

Hi relwell > we already had some useful topics sticked on the Bahrain forum. [sorry for the off topic, please contact me if you have any question]

Hi Ajith

Most of your questions seem to be taken care of above.

I will not recommend you living in Al Musalla. Its ok to work but is a little messy if you live there.

Bahrain is small, and hence you can live anywhere and still get to work in a short time like mentioned above.

All the best with your move!

Good hotels near Road No 1161, Al Musalla,

Can anyone please help me in finding good hotels near above mentioned my office location. This is for my temporary stay for three weeks.

Company will reimburse hotel accommodation charges.

thanks

Hi,

The closest to your place would be Riviera Palace hotel



everything else would be 10-15kms away, the only concern is taxi's are a bit expensive in Bahrain
