Coming to Bahrain

Hey I lived in Bahrain for 23 years ofcourse you can wear Jeans and any western clothes, there are tons of western expats living in Bahrain, have you googled Bahrain? Read the daily news paper here gulf-daily-news.com. Im in Germany now but you can write to me and I will give you tons of information.

Good luck its bloody hot this time of year so pack shorts and cotton clothes, it gets cooler end Dec tho.

thanks for the information.  This is going to be a new experience for me.  I have always worked and now I will be
an expats wife.  Strange and exciting at the same time.

Are US women viewed as harlots and treated with no respect?  I am considering a job near Bahrain (Damman) and been told horror stories about warped way of thinking and treatment of expats.  Very concerned about taking job and if my wife would ever be able to come and live there.

Not at all. My partner and I have been made to feel very welcome by the local Bahrainis. I have also met women here from syria, jordan, and all over the middle-east and all have been very friendly.

In reference to the men (perhaps I should have mentioned) they do tend to honk in Bahrain if you are wearing a short sleeved top or tight fitted clothing or shorts. And I have heard from friends that frequent the bars in the hotels than sometimes the men will flirt with you regardless of your marital status. But that is possibly just Bahrain... as we have got Saudis coming over from across the causeway who don't get to socialise with women who arent family much.

This has put my mind at ease, was panicking about which clothes to bring lol
