Working in Bahrain

Bahrain is a compact Gulf island country with a modern, international lifestyle and strong hospitality, retail, finance and business sectors. Hotel jobs are concentrated in Manama, Juffair, Seef, Amwaj Islands and major resort areas, with opportunities in sales, food and beverage, front office, housekeeping and events. The culture blends traditional Bahraini customs with large expatriate communities; modest dress and respectful behavior are expected in public, while weekends and leisure activities are generally relaxed and social. Living costs vary, with accommodation being the largest expense. Employers normally arrange a work permit and residence visa, medical checks and sometimes housing, transport and flights. Do not work on a tourist visa. Before relocating, confirm the written contract, salary, service charge, accommodation, insurance, annual leave and relocation support.
