Before I leave this wonderful island, I wanted to share the best and the worst parts of living in Bahrain as an expat. Spoiler alert! The pros definitely outweigh the cons, but I share a few things you should be aware of before moving to or visiting Bahrain.

If you live or have lived in Bahrain, what are your pros and cons?

@BMK500 2 года назад

Pro: shawarma, chill people (generally), you get a lot for your housing, quite a bit to do, being in the center of the Middle East Europe isn’t that far away and so is Asia, Formula 1 and you can actually race on the Bahrain intl circuit for a decent price, Tea. Cons: not much outside of the northern part of the island, air quality, July August and early September is basically cancelled, SAUDI drivers. Honorable mention: the harassment isn’t limited to women, I had like 4 Thai women run up on me in a club in juffair, that was a weird one.

@Hasanaaziz Год назад

Huge numbers on cancer and kidney failure patients because of living condition and air quality

Great summary! Thanks for sharing, I totally agree. I'm sure everyone here really appreciates your perspective.

I landed in Bahrain in 1970 and have seen the island develop, the causeway to Saudi was just being planned, my husband was Bahraini we lived in Riffa by the police station. Our children were last in Bahrain in 2011 with myself to celebrate Eid with our family 😊

Thanks so much for sharing Helena! That's incredible!

Bahrain is a special place. I have a lot of nostalgia for my time living there. One teacher I worked with in the Middle East retired to there…a worthy step. I like Coral Bay, City Centre, the Bahrain Rugby Club, Juffair, & all of the restaurants, al Dar island, scuba diving, all of it!

@toriannsharpe Год назад

Totally agree, Bahrain will always hold a very special place in my heart.

@Rubycon99 Год назад

Bahrain has that rough around the edges, lived-in feel that's missing from a lot of places in the Gulf, which I think makes it more interesting and genuine than places like Dubai. I spent a couple months there total while In the Navy and there's something very nostalgic about it for me.

@toriannsharpe Год назад

I totally agree with that! Lots of old and new to explore. While there were definitely places you could experience the culture, there were also incredible malls!

@zarana_25 18 дней назад

Mind sharing what do you mean by 'genuine than Dubai'? İs it because we can still see the culture and heritage? Compared to Dubai, it's like the metropolitan city?

Blessy, thank you so much for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. What's your favorite part about living in Bahrain?

@2gther4ever Год назад

Bahrain is the jewel in the crown of the Gulf, I first visited in 1981 and have now lived here for 11 years. Going to see Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty ballets next month, oh and Andre Rieu is here in a few days. Yes, it’s hot and humid in the summer, but you can have a BBQ 363 days in a year 😅, plus it’s a very safe country to live for men and women.

@rockownaty Год назад

With all due respect lots of things were bs. Come on you know that literally no one goes indoor skydiving cause its expensive, the beaches suck, i’m bahraini and never ever heard any local or expat that went indoor rock climbing. I do agree with harassing and why sugar coat be like bahrainis don’t harass when lots do as well. I’ll tell you what this video is, its just a conservative politically correct attempt to show your opinion while fearing to say something that could compromise you staying in bahrain in the future or fearing retribution from locals. Every single video of expats feels there not speaking theirs hearts like they would when mentioning another western country

@Pokeeeeepow 2 года назад

Traveling is not good in Bahrain..I disagree with that since all the countries I visited were better than Bahrain in that matter

@Akei51 2 года назад

if you had a bad experience this doesn't mean traveling is not good it's so much better than many other places in the region and the even all of asia and the world + Bahrain has a very unique culture and history that you can't understand if you just want want to hate it instead of searching about it
