Bahrain - lowering costs
Hi everyone,
I’ve read a lot of this forum and several another ones but still have few questions.
I’ve been offered a job in a small company near Sehla and Jidd Hafs. The offer is about 2800 BHD/month without any package. I’m from Poland and have my own small business in the same branch with nearly the same turnover, but after all taxes and costs I earn half of this. I don’t have a money pressure but if I could save about 2000BHD/month it would be interesting for me. I’d like to go there alone, leaving my wife and two small kids for few years. Now I have quite comfortable living in my country but if I could save that amount I’m ready for an adventure.
Anyone have experience of living with locals in the old part of town, not in the expats oriented new apartments nor houses on suburbs? Is it possible?
How about Sehla and Jidd Hafs area? Living there and move on foot is possible? From what I’ve read, now I know I can forget of changing my Audi for a bicycle.
I’m going there for an interview in few weeks, but I’d like to prepare myself before.

10 out of 10 for adventurous spirit.
I doubt anyone on here lives sehla though some may have lived on the edge of jidd haffs in Granada.
For advice on living there I would check the Indian forums, this is not a dig at all but plenty live in those areas. If you don't speak Hindi now then I would learn jeldi.
If you want to go native then you could easily live on 800 a month no problem so go for it I say and bank the bucks
