Hi jouda,

You should post this advert in the Manama classifieds > accommodation section.

Thank you.

Hi american Monk,

Which industrial area are you talking about ? There are several in Bahrain !
What you were told is totally wrong.
The more common version of accomodations for expat is "semi furnished", means with kitchen appliances and washing machine, and of course AC.
I've never heard of a flat at 500BHD without AC....
Usually between a fully furnished and semi furnished, you can expect a difference of 100-150 BD per month depending on the level of the prestation.
If you need the details of some reliable real estate agents, send me a PM.

Friendly yours...

Thanks for your response -- the place of work is in BIIP (Bahrain interntaional investment park); do you know how far is Juffair and Amwaj from BIIP.  what i have seen online is that Amwaj is expensive;  i only spent few hrs in bahrain and looked at Adliya and Juffair but I only went to very crowded areas; I liked Amwaj and Tala island, but not sure how far they are from workplace,   just looking for a little bit peaceful area which close tos shopping.  Also, does NTSC tv work in Bahrain do we need converter with that?

Hi American monk,
To be honnest, I had to Google the BIIP, I didn't know what it was exactly
Juffair and Amwaj are both 7-8 Km far from BIIP. It's not the same environment ! Juffair is full of big buildings, but you can also find villas in compounds. This area surrounds the american Navy Base so you will find a lot of your fellow countrymen there and many shops and restaurants targeting them. Prices and prestations are very mixed. Amwaj is more "cosmopolitan" with a lot of different nationalities. It is expensive indeed but provides a kind of closed environment appreciated by some people.
You might also consider Hidd or Galali on Muharraq Island. It's closer and there are some nice houses there.

Hope this will help a little.

Yours

Olivier

PS : You can Google Earth all those locations to make it more clear !

I'd agree that Juffair is a bit crowded and somewhat noisy. Adliya, where I live I find very chilled out and relaxed. Sure, it feels like you actually live in a city to a degree, but the back streets are practically deserted.
