The third smallest Asian nation after the Maldives and Singapore, Bahrain is like an oyster. It has a rough exterior that takes some prising open, but it's worth the effort.

An Overview


The Kingdom of Bahrain is an island nation in the Persian Gulf comprising a small archipelago made up of 70 natural islands and an additional 33 artificial islands, centred around Bahrain Island which makes up around 83 percent of the country's landmass.


Situated between the Qatari peninsula and the north eastern coast of Saudi Arabia to which it is connected by the 25-kilometre (16 m) King Fahd Causeway, Bahrain is the storied location of the ancient Dilmun empire and home to the epicentre of the Gulf's pearling past.


Boasting its own Formula 1 Grand Prix, a growing art and foodie scene heavily influenced by Manama's huge expat population, and a wealth of activities enjoyed on the azure waters surrounding this collection of islands, Bahrain will appeal to expatriates who seek an unpretentious, yet confident country bearing all the hallmarks of a modern, wealthy Gulf nation.

Economy


A high income country with a strong financial centre and the second-highest-valued currency unit in the world, the economy of Bahrain is heavily dependent upon oil and gas. 


Since the late 20th century, Bahrain has extensively invested in the banking and tourism sectors and the capital city Manama is home to many large financial organisations.


Bahrain's banking and financial services sector, particularly Islamic banking, have benefited from the regional boom driven by demand for oil.


Petroleum is Bahrain's most exported product, aluminium its close second followed by finance and construction materials.

Bahraini Medical Sector


Bahrain has a universal health care system, dating back to 1960 in which Government-provided health care is free to Bahraini citizens and subsidized for non-Bahrainis.


Unlike the neighbouring Gulf states, Bahraini physicians and nurses form a majority of the country's workforce in the health sector.


Public Hospitals


Salmaniya Medical Complex

A multi-specialty healthcare facility that provides healthcare to all citizens and residents of Bahrain, inaugurated in several phases since 1959 until it was officially operated as a medical complex in 1978.


Bahrain Defence Force Royal Medical Services

Inaugurated in 1968, is one of the most important integrated medical buildings in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The hospital received a healthcare accreditation from the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) in 2007. It has also succeeded in achieving far-reaching excellence in all of its departments.


King Hamad University Hospital

Inaugurated in February 2012, this hospital, expertly managed by Saudi Arabia's Dr Sulaiman Al Habib Group, is a qualitative leap forward for health services and medical education in Bahrain.

Bahraini Culture


Bahrain's strong cultural, religious, and ethnic identity, like that of its neighbouring countries, is largely based around its Islamic heritage, and displayed with pride through its architecture, mosques, and communal entertainment locations, the ubiquitous souks and cafés.


The local population is very welcoming to its large expatriate population and its ensuing cosmopolitan cultural influence, evident from the Catholic and Orthodox churches, Hindu temples, and even a Jewish synagogue.


While the traditional pastimes of falconry, horse riding, hunting, horse and camel racing and poetry are still widely enjoyed, soccer and international travel have gained popularity and the annual grand prix is a star attraction.


Most Bahrainis still wear the traditional dress of a thobe, or white robe, for men, and black abayas for women, which are both cool and comfortable.


There is no dress code for expatriates, but clothing must be modest with shoulders and knees covered.


Working in Bahrain


Bahrain has attracted expatriate professionals for decades with its safe environment and tax free remuneration packages.
