The one thing you can also be
assured of getting when you visit the island is a
warm reception from the
islanders
as Bahrain is
made up of many different cultures due to its extensive expatriate
working population. It is nice to be able to walk freely through the
main souq with out feeling threatened in any manner and I have always
found the local Bahraini's to be polite, friendly and helpful.
Fuel is unbelievably cheap
compared with European prices. During my stay I hired a Toyota Echo,
which cost 8 BD (£10.00) per day, on the first day I drove up to a
service station and asked the attendant to put 5 BD (£7.00) in the tank.
I couldn't believe it when the tank was full and it only cost me 3.5 BD
(£5.00)!
Along with the already
established shopping malls such as the Seef Mall, new ones are springing
up all over the island offering the latest designer brands, electronics
and a fantastic range of restaurants and fast food outlets to eat from.
Bahrain is a great place to
visit even with all the building work and it is currently in the Middle
of an economic boom which has seen a rapid increase in the population
and island size as Bahrain continues to reclaim land for new building
projects. Bahrain currently manages to be busy, vibrant, Western,
Arabic, old & new all in one small island and will always bring back
nice memories for me as it reflects on how the whole Middle East
could be, if peace where ever to break out!
I work on Newarabia.net when ever possible but alas have to fit it round the rest of my life! So if you find a dead link or out of date info then please contact me, so that I can update the page.
Please send me your stories &
pictures on living in the Middle East so that others may get the chance to research their visit and
get a feel for what its like to live in the Middle East.
