Hello everyone,
I am contacting you because I received a very interesting job to Bahrain (Manama) for a period of about 2 years. I’m in a relationship, and we would have a few questions about life every day.
I hope you can help us ...
The clothes:
We hear / read often that expats must have a descent clothing. What do you mean by that? Is a skirt at the knees is correct? ( except the month of Ramadan ) . Is a T-shirt (covering the shoulders ) is ok?
Climate:
Is it really insupportable for us French ? To what extent ? How do you handle it ? Bottle of water on yourself? Clothes at the office?
Food
My wife is vegan and gluten intolerant . Is this a problem? Is there a such products in the supermarkets ?
Job :
My wife will have a master's degree in psychology just before we left . Do you know if there are jobs / tasks / her internship in his field ? ( psychologist in French ) . Do you have some contacts ?
Pets:
We have two cats ( vaccinated and microchipped ) that we would take with us. We've found some information on the start, but what about back in France , is simple? Do you have information on this?
I hope you can answer us ...
In advance, thank you !

Clothes aren't an issue. Just be sensible, shorts etc. are fine. It's too hot in the summer, great in winter. I'm British and cope ok. Food, should be ok. Job can't help. Cat I believe won't be an issue.
