clarifying the Current Cost of living, etc
posted by Jim L in Bahrain forum
Hi Abith
Climate & Living condition in Bahrain is just at par with other GCC countries, if not better (except for the "minor issues" which have subsided somehow)... BD900/month can be considered a high-end offer, but if it includes housing & transportation expenses, that would be effectively reduced into half especially if you are getting married ). Apartment/housing rental is a bit high, depending on what you standards are. A decent 2-br apartment would cost per month - between 180 (low-end) to 450 (high-end) depending on area or district. Other areas like Juffair and Amwaj would cost from 400-850... so it really depends on what you can accept .. but you can leave a pretty decent life here with that salary offer, even better if transport & housing allowances are separate from that figure.
