I’m Martin, 52 from Preston. I’m moving to Bahrain at the end of November. Wife will be coming out during the school holidays, and my lad will be coming to visit as & when he pleases. I’m looking forward to getting to know Bahrain again as it’s 20 years since I was last here.

Welcome to Be, and good luck with the move!

Hi!

Hi Mike from London. Wine drinker about to relocate in the Middle East.

Welcome to the desert, which part are you relocating to?

Afternoon,

I’m Robbie

Coming out to Dhahran to join BAE in a week or two hopefully. Wife will be joining once kid goes to uni in 2024. Mrs is a counsellor working for MIND in the UK

One kid who will be staying in UK at Uni or joining the forces😁

I’ve bought a guitar off said Kid to start as a new hobby. Don’t panic I’ve got earphones!

I’m into lots of things currently learning hypnotherapy but I keep falling asleep on the course 😵‍💫

Any advice gratefully received.

see you soon
Robbie

Hi All,

Dino from London/Copenhagen moving to good old Riyadh this week. Fingers crossed it will not be too much of a shock to the system.

Welcome to the Sandpit!

Starting to get organised ready for our move to Bahrain in September where I'll be starting a new job. I'm flying out first and will be organising set up in Bahrain (find a villa and a car), husband and dog following at the end of the month. We lived in Dubai from 2010 to 2014 and have missed the lifestyle, we're both (very!) late 50s so never thought we'd get our shiny expat life back. Any Barhain recommendations gratefully received!

Hi everyone, I'm Dave, 40 years old, from Melbourne Australia.
Just joined this forum as I have a few job interviews coming up next week for engineering roles in Saudi Arabia.

Was very happy to come across this forum as it is full of great information that was difficult to find otherwise.

Hopefully can meet some like-minded people.

Good luck with the interviews, Dave!

Thanks Bob! Fingers crossed
