Weekend Visit

Hi Gary. Welcome to the Forum.

If you have family and school going kids, you may want to also check out schools (since its a weekend trip schools will be closed, but at least their locations), supermarkets, play areas, entertainment options, etc.

Also when looking at potential housing, look at a number of areas, because each one has its own pros and cons.

If you are like to also tour the place and see places of interest there are a few places to visit. Let us know and we can give you a few tips.

Exciting times ahead! Best wishes.

There was a recent thread. Let me see if I can find the link.

But in any case, if you come to Bahrain I will be your tour guide, mal.

Hello Gary,

Welcome to the forum. Let me know when you are in Bahrain and I can meet you up for a drink and answer all the questions you may have about Bahrain.

Good luck!

Thanks I will be staying in a hotel in juffair yet it's only a weekend and I'm not 100% sure on the agenda for the weekend all I know is that Sunday should be mine I know that's a working day so will maybe message here Saturday night from the hotels wifi if can meet for a drink etc. I'm excited about getting out there I just hope that the company who has the job advertised think I'm the man for the job

I am pretty sure they think you are the man for the job, otherwise they wouldn't have gone all the expense of paying your flight and hotel to get you down here.

I do hope so:) I keep looking at places and areas to live and it seams all have there positive and negative points, guess if offered a position then A more I depth look at each can be done once in Bahrain and presumably spending at least a month in hotel accommodation.

Yeah, once you are here, things will make more sense and you will be able to understand your surroundings more. When I first came to Bahrain, the company put me into a hotel in Seef, which was close to where I was working back then. I didn't have a driving license back then so I walked around and found a flat 2 minutes walk from where I worked. Still live in the same flat
