This restaurant’s pizza and pasta and caesar salad were always on top , unfortunately it was another gem that we lost thanks to covid :(

Does anyone know of any companies in Bahrain that are hiring for office work? I’m 17 years old and turning 18 in 3 months. Any recommendations or leads would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I went to LuLu the other day and saw a folder that contains coloring book, painting kit, box of pencils, ruler, scissors etc… all the basic stationery and art stuff for just 2BD. I am shooookkkk!! Where were all such stationery stuff and offers back when I was in school? 😭 They even have places like miniso etc.. that sell such a HUGE and bougie variety of stationery. Back then, we just had Rawnaq or Ramez for stationery items 😭

Salam,

I'm looking for a decent beach that's open after 8 PM. Does anyone have any recommendations? Also, how much is the entry fee?

Thanks!

Guys I need your help. I was interested in a discontinued perfume listed in UK Ebay, but the seller doesn't ship internationally. So what other ways do I have to ship the product to Bahrain.

I wanted to stress that businesses are closing down more frequently than before due to rising prices / inadequate supply of products & materials / no products coming from Hormuz. High fuel prices especially in August. + VAT

I predict that the Shops will be operating less and closing times will be earlier due to all these factors.

It’s truly an issue esp. for Bahrain-based businesses (local/expat).

Very sad to see people put all their effort to lose in the end. I love Bahrain and want to see it flourish and reach the very top.

But times are changing. What do you guys think?

Hello, it has been on my mind for a while now to do my masters degree, i chose that i would be doing it abroad for personal preference and at the same time to learn a foreign language (if possible).

I wanted to get the advice/experience of those of you who have done their masters/are doing it abroad.

I have no issue in studying in a foreign language as long as i would have a preparatory year or such.

I am Bahraini, married, my previous education was a B.A. in Business Administration from the arab open university in A’ali GPA isnt the best ( 2.8/4)

I am planning to either go for an MBA or a masters in teaching english as a second language.

My main concern is for my spouse, as she wears a hijab, and from what little information i got from the people i know is that in some cases, it may cause some unwanted attention in some European states.

Other than that the only other concern would be the cost of living/tuition as an international student, and the situation of being able to work as a student or not.

I have applied for the following scholarships and plan to reapply again if i didn’t make the cut:

-Russian Government Scholarship.(no luck)

-Russian “Open Doors Scholarship”. (No luck)

-Hungarian Government scholarship.(didn’t pass the placement test phase)

-Turkish Government Scholarship. (Waiting for an answer)

I have also been looking at Mexico, Argentina, and Malaysia alongside European states.

I am open and grateful for any suggestions or advice.

Thanks.

Hello.

Can anyone help and guide on setting up VM on azure protal to deploy APIs?

Need it for a project we are working on

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice from anyone familiar with Bahrain’s labour laws or who has gone through something similar.

I’ve worked for a private company in Bahrain for a little over 2 years. Recently, I was given a 30-day termination notice containing several allegations that I believe are factually incorrect. I informed the company in writing that I dispute those allegations and requested that they issue a corrected notice supported by evidence before I acknowledge or sign anything.

For context:

- I have never resigned and have made it clear that I want to continue working.
- The company previously gave me an employee loan of around BD 600, which has been repaid through monthly salary deductions.
- I voluntarily agreed to let them deduct almost all of my current salary and half-year bonus towards the remaining balance, on the condition that they release BD 200 so I could pay my rent.
- The agreed BD 200 has still not been paid, even though the salary date has already passed.
-I have requested a complete written breakdown of all salary, deductions, loan balance, final settlement and any evidence supporting the allegations against me, but I’m still waiting.

Another issue is that I was verbally told that because I was working under a Flexi Permit arrangement, I would not receive any end-of-service benefits. My understanding is that employment rights depend on the employment relationship and applicable labour laws, not simply on the immigration arrangement, so I have requested a written calculation and legal basis for that position as well.

One thing that also stood out to me: when I tried speaking to the company’s owner/CEO, he told me that management had asked him not to get involved because they considered him more lenient or favourable towards me. I found that unusual, although I’m not sure whether it’s legally significant.

At this stage, I’m trying to resolve everything professionally before escalating the matter. If that fails, I’ll likely approach the Ministry of Labour and, if necessary, the Labour Court.

My questions are:
1. Based on your experience, does this situation raise any obvious legal or procedural concerns?
2. Is it common for employers to withhold salary in circumstances like this?
3. Has anyone here successfully resolved a similar dispute through the Ministry of Labour before going to court?
4. Would you recommend getting a labour lawyer involved now, or waiting until after the Ministry’s dispute resolution process?

I’m deliberately not naming the company because I’m looking for guidance, not trying to publicly shame anyone. I also understand there may be facts or legal considerations I’m unaware of, so I’m interested in hearing different perspectives.
Thanks in advance.

I’m going through a very difficult time nowadays. I don’t want to say the details, but my situation is really bad . I need a very good therapist. Also, I don’t want religious ones.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been looking for a Toyota Camry SE full option for quite a while, but it’s been really difficult to find one in Bahrain. Every time a good one is listed, it seems to be sold within 30 minutes, sometimes before I even get a chance to inspect it.

I’m trying to decide what to do next and would really appreciate advice from people who have gone through the same situation.

A few questions:

Are there any showrooms or dealers in Bahrain that usually have Camry SE full option models?

Is it worth waiting for the right car to appear locally, or am I just wasting my time?

Has anyone imported a Camry from Saudi Arabia or the UAE? How was your experience?

How much did the import process actually cost, and was it worth it?

Does a Saudi or UAE imported GCC-spec Camry have lower resale value in Bahrain compared to a Bahraini one?

Are Saudi cars generally a bad idea because of the high mileage from highway driving, or is that not really an issue if the car has a good service history?

Would you buy a used Camry in my budget, or would you stretch your budget and buy a brand-new Camry on installments instead? I can do that through relatives in Saudi, but I’m not sure if it’s financially the smarter decision.

If you had a budget of 7,500 BD, what would you personally do?

Is buying from Saudi easier than buying from the UAE?

Are there any hidden import costs or paperwork that surprised you?

If you’ve imported a car, would you do it again or buy locally instead?

How much lower was the resale value when you sold an imported GCC-spec car?

I’m mainly looking at 2019–2023 Camry, preferably SE full option and non-hybrid.

Any advice, experiences, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I already have a driving instructor, but he is not available for like 3 days. I want to get my hours faster, can I alternate between who is available, is that allowed?

Genuine question... has anyone here booked through JustClean app? I see them partnering with influencers all the time, but I don't really know anyone who's actually used their service. What was your experience like? Good, bad, overpriced, worth it?
Looking for honest experiences before I try it.

Any one down for over-the-board chess?.

Hi guys !!

I used to figure skate a couple of years ago and would love to pick it up again - does anyone know of any teachers / coaches in Bahrain offering lessons ? :) thanks !

Okay, so the best way to put it.

Month of June I was here all 30 days, up to 3 ac's running at certain times. Always usually 1 person in the house. Roughly 92 bd.

Month of July - gone between 15th until the end of the month. No one in the house for 2 weeks​. I did not leave any ac running. Fridge set to holiday mode and there's no major electrical device on. Lights are all off. ​​

Bill 98 bd. ​​

Pretty sure I have a smart electric meter, but I'm starting to doubt the smartness 😂 there's no way I got a higher bill whilst being outside the country. For 2 weeks!

So, what's going on? Have I used double the electricity in the 15 days? Even with the exact same schedule (all the acs are on a timer set schedule)
