Is it safe in manama

Hi

I have been offered a senior position with a company in Manama to start mid January. A very simple question is in safe there, yes I know their were problems but is it safe for expats today Christmas day and going forward?

Hi Mikeptk and welcome to the forum,

This is an ongoing question ^^
Let's talk about facts because you will find as many different opinions as people who reply to you !
The big part of the crisis is behind us, but the tension is still here. You will find some check points when you travel in Manama. Around some troubled area, at night, you might hear some fights and even sometimes smell teargas !
That's true. Beyond that, expats are safe and have never been targeted in anyway. You must just avoid the demonstrations and gathering, and try to find an accommodation in a quiet area and you will be quite fine !

Hope this will help
