Can an Sri Lankan American find a decent job in Bahrain, and be accepted?

Question

Is it hard to live there, how is the food and people?

Answer 1

You forget to mentioned your educational qualification and experience

If you are educated you may find decent job in Bahrain, depends your qualifications, you should be here in bahrain to search a job that suits you. Now pay scale also quite better when compared earlier.

If you are not educated or just school finished, you may get job in labour category or physical work or variety of general work you may find one.

It is not hard to live there, there are more srilankan nationals are living here without any problem,

Srilankan foods are available same like in colombo, few shops directly imports food stuffs, pherishable items, even cloths by specific outlets and supermarkets.

If you want to eat outside few restaurants exclusively run by srilankans to serve their food, more restaurants are added in their menu with srilankan foods

People is fine, when compare to fellow Gulf countries, bahrain is far better with behaviour and atitude wise and they move friendly when compare to other arabs, bahrain's education ratio is excellent when compare to other gulf countries

Racism is much exagerated in "thureza"'s answer, any way you not interfear with fellow arabs work, mostly very young say 6 to 10 years the boys doesnot have much knowledge about the expats, so they may behave funny, it is not racism.

I strongly object about racism in bahrain, becasue the locals are so good in behaving with the expacts, they may be quite few in compare to "thureza", but mostly all local peoples are very practical.

Answer 2

Racism is alive and well in the Gulf. If you are not white or Arab, you will probably find yourself a victim of it. Although there are many people here from India, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Nepal and Pakistan most of them work in manual labor or service jobs and the majority are not treated well as a result. Sadly, the color of your skin in this part of the world plays a huge role in how you will be treated. It's the unfortunate reality.

Answer 3

good luck
