Bahrain experience by saudiben
Hi, I am a Dutch expat new to this forum. Work (and lived) in Saudi since 3 years and since 1 year living in Bahrain (Juffair) with the family. Moved to Bahrain so that my wife could own and drive a car and our family would have a kind of Western ...
Back in Saudi, what a relieve. A friend of mine who used to have VIP recently had to renew and they did not for reasons unknown. He is now considering moving back to Saudi with his wife. Anyone travelling back and forth daily, good luck! Read More
Do and don't in Saudi Arabia by expat.com
Are you living in Saudi Arabia? We need you to share your experience of the local customs :) Is it difficult to adjust to the local customs in Saudi Arabia? Could you please share with us a list of the do's and don't's in Saudi Arabia? Thanks!

Appreciate the response, but the delays in travel time are on the causeway, from than on it is a breeze either way. Not only busy since a couple of weeks, all my expat friends commuting are saying exactly the same it is already bad since many months ... Read More

HI! I'm new in this blog.. I have an offer in Bahrain for a teaching job. Monthly salary is $ 1,200. Is that salary sufficient for me? Can I save some for myself with that amount? Thanks in advance for those who'll reply to this message.
