How many people live in Bahrain?

Answer 1

The cost of living in Bahrain is considerably higher than in other Middle Eastern countries, and it continues to rise. Inflation and rising costs have put Bahrain's capital, Manama, at the bottom of the Mercer Cost of Living Survey. But many Bahrain residents can keep their expenses under control, and put away some of their monthly income in a savings account. In Bahrain school fees are relatively low.

Rent is the biggest expense, and is a significant portion of any monthly budget. A one-bedroom apartment can cost around 200 BHD in the city center and 150-375 BHD in the country's rural areas. Rents for 3-bedroom apartments are around 500-800 BHD in the city and 300-650 BHD in the suburbs. However, the recent construction boom in Bahrain has increased the number of available properties, which has brought down the prices.

Private education is a major expense for expatriate families.

Children attending a public school in Bahrain are not eligible for international education. This means that the cost of Bahrain school fees in private or international school’s tuition varies according to the age of the children and the school.
