What about medical treatement in baharin>?
please give briefly by cost wise like Accommodation,food,electricity,house hold items to buy and savings.
Thankyou in advance..

Josh,

The amount would be enough for you and your wife as a starter. Life in Bahrain is not that fast comapred to UAE and Qatar and is enjoying a much better inflation percentage than that of the two other GCC Countries.

I suggest that you live in a shared 2 bedroom Flat where you and your wife will live with other family. Cost shall be around 200/m. Food and Transport shall be another 200/m. Misc. should be maximum of 100/m and you will find that you still have something to save.

Besides, your wife will surely find a job in any school or day care centers in Bahrain being a BSEd. graduate. It will be an additional income and savings for you.

As what I always say to people who will try the Gulf, it's not how big your salary is - it's how small your expenses are and how you manage it that counts !!!

Welcome to Bahrain... another country full of opportunities !!!

780 is more than enough, u can rent a small flat near to work for about 150-200 (not shared!!)
medical treatment isnt so great if u dont have insurance, which isnt so expensive either but that is sumthing i think u should consider, as u might have kids ;)
if ur wife works, her salart would probably cover your rent municipalities (gas, water & electricity)
food is cheap.. with her workin, i think you can have a great and comfortable life here, saving 400BD a month :)

but make sure about the package u are gettin before u sign the contract.. check if the will give u health insurance or not? housing allowances? transport? education if u have kids in the future..
remember these are things that u need to consider b4 moving over seas!
