Living in BAH

[VS1711]

Hi folks,

I'm toying with the idea of a move to BAH for work. I'm a PPL rather than a professional but I figured if you want to know how fun a town is you ask the crew.

Anyone want to venture a 3 good / 3 bad to help me out?

Cheers

Cheers for the answer. I was hoping to get a bit of a feel for the Expat standard of living. I spent a lot of time in Jeddah with Air Atlanta in the 90s. Now I'm out of aviation and working in financial services and I have a couple of opportunities to go Expat in either BAH or DXB so I'm wondering what people think who are living in the area. I'll just have to fly when I come home for weekends!

Bahrain is fairly quiet and small compared to the other major centres.(Dxb,Doha,Mct&Auh)
Rush hour last 30mins, booze is on tap,boating is Ok,schools are fair. Summer is hot!!
Its not the best in the world,but its not the worst.

Thanks, that's about what I figured. I fancy a more laid back scene than DXB but still want to be able to go out for beers and a decent dinner. I'd be travelling a lot anyway and DXB is always there for the odd weekend right?
