What's the cost of living in Manama, Bahrain?

Yes, based on the cost of living in Bahrain, you'll be able to live very comfortably. Accommodation and car payments (an unfortuante necessity) will be your largest expenses in Bahrain, and since you have the first covered you only need to worry about the second. That said, sometimes rent is exclusive of municipal taxes and utilities, so ask your employer if these things will be covered. Otherwise, you'll need to budget for them - though they won't be that much.

You can lease a decent mid-level vehicle (think a Toyota Camry) for around 150 BHD per month, and then petrol is dirt cheap - this is the Middle East after all.

Food and entertainment is between 100 and 200 BHD a month, depending on what your habits are. Still. as you see, you'll have the potential to save a fat wad of cash.

Take the offer, and for information check out the Expat Arrivals Bahrain guide.
