Welcome to my Bahrain Website now in its 6th year and still going strong. This site has been designed to help people gain an insight into living and working in the Middle East.
It's official after 5 years of living in the UK, I finally managed to make it back to Bahrain! From the 15th of January 2008 until the 25th January 2008 I lived in Adliya just oust side of Manama.
Bahrain is not a pretty place at the moment, as it is currently in the middle of a massive expansion plan which has engulfed the whole island, resulting in huge building projects springing up all over Bahrain. The result of all of this development is that it resembles the very early days of Spanish holiday resorts. Tall cranes, heavy construction equipment and scaffolding can be seen in every major town / city within Bahrain and at night it resembles a science fiction backdrop as all the buildings and cranes are lit in a multitude of colours.
However, despite the extensive expansion projects and the turmoil this has bought to the island, the potential for Bahrain to not only become a major financial harbour but also a hot tourist destination is limitless. In 5 to 10 years Bahrain will not be recognizable from the Bahrain that you see today and providing that the authorities make sure all the rubble and rubbish is cleared up after the construction projects have been finished, Bahrain could easily rival Dubai as one of the hottest tourist location in the Middle East.
