Hoping to move to Bahrain soon, does this sound realistic?

Hi everyone. I'm new here, so I'l introduce myself first. I'm currently living in the UK, but hoping to move out to Bahrain in the next couple of months. My OH currently lives and works there, and it looks to be a more permanent move for him, so trying to get myself out there. (Hes been out there for nearly a year.) I myself have been out there 3 times now and know it's somewhere where I'll be able to live. 

A little history - since the beginning of the year, I've been looking for a job in Bahrain. I'm a web designer/email marketing specialist. I signed up to countless job sites, trawled through LinkedIn for companies based in Bahrain, emailed as many agencies as I could find. Since then, I've got the odd email back here or there telling me they'd let me know if anything comes up, a couple of promises of Skype interviews, but nothing ever comes out of it, no matter how many times I try and follow up.

So after a lot of thought, we've thought of a plan B. Plan B will be me working remotely with my current London based company, from Bahrain. I know I'll be on a tourist visa for 3 months. My hopes would be to find something Bahrain based within those three months. If I don't, I make a trip to Dubai, or back to London, and come back into the country (Terribly awful idea there?).

If I still can't find anything, I'd try and get back into contracting/freelancing. I did that for just over a year in the UK. It was okay. I'm guessing, as Bahrain is tax free, I wouldn't have to set up a company or anything to work as a freelancer in Bahrain?

Obviously, at the moment, the current hurdle is whether my current employer will let me work remotely. Hopefully, they won't have an issue with it. But how does everything else here sound? Does anyone have any advice? Does anything what I've said set off any warning signs for anyone?

Thanks so much!
