Its welcoming environment, diverse job market, and tax-free income are just some of the many reasons why people choose to move to Bahrain.
However, moving to a new country and integrating into a new culture requires some research and understanding. Learn more about living in Bahrain and what you might need to know before you make your move:
Accommodation
Before you move to Bahrain, you will need to find suitable accommodation to live in. Whether you choose to buy or rent a home, prices will vary depending on the location and size of the property.
Popular locations that expats choose to move to include:
Living in more populous cities like Bahrain’s capital, Manama, means you will benefit from great public transportation and accommodation options. However, you might choose to live on one of the smaller islands in the archipelago, as they are mostly connected by bridges.
Education
Bahrain has a good education system and offers both public and private education. However, public schools are not always available for international schools due to language or religious differences.
If you are moving to Bahrain with children, you should sign your children up for school as soon as possible, as education is compulsory in Bahrain for children aged 6 to 15.
Culture
Most of Bahrain’s locals practice the Islamic faith, and the country is proud of its Islamic heritage. Prayer is called five times a day, and the Holy Month of Ramadan is celebrated every year.
As well as their rich Islamic heritage, Bahrain is home to delicious food and traditional music and art.
