Moving to Bahrain is it safe

Hi I am a Brit and my wife has had an offer to work in Manama with 1800 BD income, first of all is it safe in Manama from terror threats and so on and is 1800 a good salary to live on for instance apartment rent costs and costs of living. Finally is Manama a nice place to live. Any advice would be much appreciated, as we have friends who negative to our move.

Hi,

Bahrain is safe to live and work, go through the below mentioned links which should give you a fair idea about the cost of living in Bahrain (costs have gone up a bit). I would suggest you come down to Bahrain go around and then decide on what would be a good area to stay

Yes, I thought so, just wondering as British Government says stay away, due to protests and high terrorist threat, obviously thinking of my family safety first

When you have the US 5th fleet and a UK army base around, i am sure there is nothing much to worry haha ;)
