I am considering to accept job offer of BHD 1300 in one of companies working in Manama. I am a software engineer and will be considering to move my family (wife and a daughter). My daughter will start her school next year and my wife is not expected to do any work but to be with kids at home. I am looking for 1bkh or 2bkh flat.

Is my salary enough to live a comfortable life and save a little as well.

Best Regards

Ali.

If you have a child you will be wanting a 2 bed place surely. You can get these from BD350 upwards depending on the area.
Best to check exactly where you will be working as "Manama" can mean just about anywhere
