Moving from Dubai to Bahrain
 
Hi Guys,

Hubby and I are looking for your advise.
Currently we are working in senior position in Dubai , when we relocate to Bahrain then we will become a single income family. I am not able to get more information on the norm expats package.. so really want your advise if we are on the right mind set , package will be around 4K BD ( 40k AED ) exclusive housing allowance ( what's the average? Company pay in full ? ) , family insurance , travel allowance? Hubby is in construction industry

I am also due to give birth in June. Which private hospital and ObG will you recommend ?
Thanks a lot in advance !

Your post is badly written and unclear. Is this your job or your husband's?

What is your job and job role?
How many years experience do you have?
What is your nationality?

all I can tell you is that if that salary is on top of a housing allowance and insurance, you could easily manage on it in Bahrain.

But we don't know if you like eating beluga caviar and owning a private jet so it's hard to say for sure.

Recommend you get onto the Mums in Bahrain website or Facebook page for info regarding Obgyn and schools. The ladies there are very helpful.
