Speaking Arabic in Bahrain by Priscilla
Hi everyone, It is widely agreed that speaking Arabic is essential for a successful integration in Bahrain. Do you agree? Share your experience! Do you speak Arabic? If so, where did you learn this language? Where can one attend a language ...
If there was one language I'd recommend people learn to speak before they came to Bahrain it'd be Hindi, not Arabic. I get by fine with just English though. Though I do wish I could pick up a little bit of the language past "thank ... Read More

Random question. Been looking for baking powder & Apple cider vinegar in bulk. ACV seems to not exist here & can only get the tiny baking soda tins,imported so exxy. Need it to wash my hair 馃槩 Anywhere I may get it?
I just had to quit going no-poo :( Was doing great for nearly 3 months and then my scalp decided to hate it :/ Now on the hunt for a nice SLS free shampoo. Though, going poo free was doing wonders for my hair! Just not the skin on my head. Read More

Haha, yeah. We tend to stock up on some things too. Couldn't find Weetabix brand Bran Flakes for months, then Al Jazira had some stock in and we bought 4 packs! You never know when you're going to be able to find it again. Read More

Extend VOA visa? by steamsmyclams
Going to be heading off to Bahrain soon. I usually do a visit on arrival visa, the last three times I've been. However this time, thinking about doing an eVisa because I might have to extend my stay. Have heard some woeful stories on the eVisa ...
Heh, have got looks before while over there and sort of what I expected. Doesn't bother me in the least. Josnuggles - I take it the form is similar to the one you gotta fill in at the airport. Correct? Thanks for the tips guys :) Read More
What are salaries really like? by steamsmyclams
So I'm going to be in Bahrain soon and will be looking to be employed by a local company. I recently got an offer for a role within a marketing agency but have turned it down for a variety of reasons. However, I want to gauge what salaries are ...
Scottrace - I pretty much figured that would be part of the thing as well. So expected a bit of that. If I can at least get a salary matching what I make in the UK, I'd be okay with that. Moving to be with my SO. He'll be out in Bahrain for a good ... Read More
