Hi harbaski and Welcome to the Forum :)

With the budget you mentioned, you would be able to survive in Bahrain (If just survival is what you are looking for :D ). I don't know whether you would be able to find a decent accommodation for you and your family with the said amount or not but the nice thing about Bahrain is that if you do little bit of research, you may come across what will suit your budget.

Other expenses depends mainly on your lifestyle but if you are looking for a moderate lifestyle, you should be ok.

Good Luck :)

Hi harbaski,
No hope, 450 Bd for a family of four means misery.Unless Vidodido would invite you and your family for supper every evening...:D

Ufff... you are not smart if you not negotiate your salary. 
To answer your question again: Bahrain is expensive.
Good Luck!

450BD is enough to live. So is 150BD. But why would you move to another country to suffer? That's what I don't understand.

Hi Harsh,

Welcome to Bahrain. :) 450 is a good salary for single :) but your basic is 275 :( so anyways its good deal for a start in Bahrain. Whether the salary is enough for you or not, depends on how you spend. :rolleyes:

Don't leave this opportunity and salary can be increased by your performance if you trust yourself.

Hey company is providing you car.... :D Let me know once you are in Bahrain.

Enjoy Bahrain, ;)

shayeen :cool:
