Moving to Bahrain
by handbag14
My boyfriend has been offered a role in Bahrain,from Australia, and ideally i would like to move with him. I am not sure how to go about looking for a job - whether I need one before I leave, or could I get one there? Any websites I should look at, or placement companies?
I have worked in finance companies for the last 5 years, and am currently managing an operational area for about 25 people. Also have a commerce degree.
Where would I look for a job to be placed over there with him?
Also what would a decent salary be?

I think you can definitely find one in Bahrain. There are a lot of finance companies here. You can try www.clarendonparker.com or check the Gulf Daily News website. If you can affford to live for 3-7 months without a job at first--(as it can take that long to find a job sometimes)--then definitely join hm...
I dont know what a decent salary would be...but u have to come and see for yourself at first...

Thanks for your help! Much appreciated!
Is there an aversion to women working?
Do women need to be escorted around, or is it ok if your a westerner?

You'll get better chance of getting the job in Bahrain once you are in Bahrain. Since you're not married, you can't apply for family visa. You can have only visit visa that can be renewed every 2 months.
There are plenty of financial companies in Bahrain. Moreover in 1-2 years it will open Bahrain Financial Harbour, a commercial complex where lots of financial companies will be there.
However, you'll compete with locals, as part of Bahrainisation (a percentage of the company staffs must employ locals), many locals prefer to get a job in office or banking institutes.
To find jobs at the beginning, visit gulf-daily-news.com's classified section.

Travel Tips for Manama
Islands and Beaches
by xiquinho
Not surprisingly for an island in the middle of the Arabian Sea, Bahrain has some beautiful beaches, both on the main island and on the outlying islands.
Al Jazayer is one of the nicest beaches on the mainland with the archetypal golden sands and azure waters. Not far from Zallaq, it’s fairly easy to reach and if you explore a bit further round the coast, you’ll find numerous quiet coves away from the crowds.
Alternatively, you can catch a boat to lovely Al Dar Island which is popular for watersports, snorkelling, swimming and fishing and holds regular beach barbecues. There are also pristine beaches on the Hawar Islands where there’s a large hotel and resort complex.
