How much does it really cost to live, work, or travel in ? Here's what to expect for daily expenses and expat living.
For a traveler planning a one-week mid-range stay in Bahrain, budgeting around 600-800 BHD (Bahraini Dinars) should cover most expenses comfortably. This estimate includes accommodation, dining, transportation, and entertainment. Typical daily expenses in Bahrain include:
In comparison to the United States and the UK, Bahrain is generally considered an affordable travel destination overall—especially for dining and public transportation. While a mid-range meal in the US might cost around $20, you can enjoy excellent local cuisine at half the price in Bahrain. Compared to the UK, where similar meals might run around £15, Bahrain provides a cost-effective alternative for travelers seeking a rich cultural experience without breaking the bank.
Expats settling in Bahrain can anticipate monthly living costs to range between 500-800 BHD, depending on lifestyle choices and location. Typical expenses include rent for a one-bedroom apartment (300-500 BHD), groceries (50-100 BHD), and utility bills (30-60 BHD). For those new to Bahrain, banking is straightforward. Most establishments accept major credit and debit cards, but it’s wise to keep some cash for smaller vendors. When sending or receiving money, services such as Wise or OFX often provide better rates compared to local banks, making them worth considering for international transactions. Furthermore, exchanging a small amount of cash locally is advisable for immediate expenses, but for larger transfers, online services usually offer more favorable exchange rates, helping expats save on their financial transactions.
