Coming to Bahrain by KSD
I will be joining my husband in bahrain for 6 months starting in November. This may sound silly but what since I have been in the corporate world for the lsat 30 years I was wondering what kind of everyday clothes do you wear in Bahrain? Are jeans ...
In reference to the men (perhaps I should have mentioned) they do tend to honk in Bahrain if you are wearing a short sleeved top or tight fitted clothing or shorts. And I have heard from friends that frequent the bars in the hotels than sometimes ... Read More

Not at all. My partner and I have been made to feel very welcome by the local Bahrainis. I have also met women here from syria, jordan, and all over the middle-east and all have been very friendly. Read More

Do and don't in Bahrain by expat.com
Are you living in Bahrain? We need you to share your experience of the local customs :) Is it difficult to adjust to the local customs in Bahrain? Could you please share with us a list of the do's and don't's in Bahrain? Thanks!
