Can anyone please tell me how expensive (in terms of accommodation, food etc) Bahrain is if you compare it with Qatar? Is accommodation is easily available?

One of my friend is moving to Qatar for better job... I am wondering if it will suit him or not?

Thanks

Also look at the fact Bahrain is relooking at expat labour laws. Hope they can impliment it soon and perhaps show the rest of the GCC how to treat expats.

Motivation is when your dreams put on work clothes.

uh, it's mostly saudis that go to Bahrain, and it's to drink and bang prostitutes because they don't have them.

In Bahrain on exhibition road you can get a two bedroom apartment for around 5500 QR

I lived in Bahrain for 17 years.

Accommodation is cheaper, but everything else is almost the same. I'd say on average its a bit cheaper.

Of course you do have less variety.

 

 When it comes to upper class fun, it's around 50BD per person for full three course meal with a bottle of wine or date juice plus belly dancer.

It's around 60BD in Qatar.

   I used to pay a rent of 180 BD for a semifurnished accomidation with W & E.  Household grocery for the month for a small family would be around 150-200 BD max.

 

    Offcourse  u need a re-entry visa whenever u exit from Bahrain as well.... Iif you are in a managerial level position only then u can exit without it but however u need to carry a letter from your company to re-enter.

If you like to imbibe as I do (and it seems Mr Paul does though why he comes to Qatar rather than BAH is a mystery) then it is much cheaper in Bahrain. For example, Marriot Asia Live meal for 2 and bottle of wine circa QR600. Bahrain similar food and wine in much better surroundings BD30!!

Accomadation is far cheaper, and the pace of life is a bit slower as well.

Another bonus, you dont need an exit visa to leave, should you wanna go visit other places

Food items are also a bit cheaper when compared to QATAR
