I might have the chance to go to Bahrain next year but don't know much about it. Has anyone been?

I was there a few years ago. It was still being developed but was definitely worth the trip. It is a westernised country so you can drink, interact with women, and be out and about during prayer time. You just had to keep things low key. It was also cheap. I understand that the country has become more expensive (more because of the exchange rate making it expensive). The country is still just as relaxed as it was then towards westerners. You get all the westenr facilities such as good western accomodation, banking, shopping. The climate in winter is very nice but is too hot in summer (but they do have aircon in the newer buildings).I could quite easily spend a bit of time there if I was asked to go back on business.

yeah i know about it .. its like 20 mins away from saudi arabia by car its a very small lil country full of friendly people there are bars and clubs n malls and you can easily go to visit saudi arabia too and you dont even have to change ur paper money they accept saudi money !! .
bahrain is a good country for business like banking and stuff and its near to dubai you can visit dubai by air plane . dubai is one of the greatest city ever !! ..
yeah thats pretty much what i know about bahrain last time i visited was in 2004 ..
but i heard that micheal jakson lives there now
i personally wouldnt live there because its a small country and i dont like small countries .. some people do .. its a matter of taste
but if u got friends there it would be ok!! you can visit many other cityies/ countries in weekend
have fun.. good luck!

Well, I have been there before... It's a great little country, very westernised and you'll feel as if you are in a nice city in Europe.. you have pubs, bars and beautiful restaurants and hotels.. The people are extremely nice, kind and polite.
If I have to choice to live and work in one of the Arab countries, I will definitely chose Bahrain.
Go ahead and don't worry, it's a pleasant country.
The only disadvantage is the very hot and humid weather.. but it's very pleasant in winter..
