Bahrain Info x behramjee
I've never been in Al Safir Hotel but I know where is.
I can't give you details about rooms, etc but the area is good special for new joiners. You have many restaurants and night clubs around and it's easy to reach the airport.
I live in Juffair, I don't know if is the best place in Bahrain but It's ok.
You can also consider Amwaj Islands (8 km. from the airport) or Budaya, little bit far but with good compounds.
The only thing I can suggest you is to see many places before you sign a contract, anyway there's an housing department in GF that can be helpful if you need contact numbers with real estate company.
I suggest you to invest 1 BD and buy the local newspaper Gulf Daily where you can find plenty informations about real estate.
There are few canadians in Gulf Air and I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy The Kingdom.
