Bahrain is one hour ahead SPAIN why does it takes 7 hours to fly there?
While it is correct that, strictly speaking, that time-zones do not exactly correlate to the distance between places. The flight from New York, USA to Lima, Peru is within the same time-zone and takes 8 hours. However, since time-zones are supposed to be 15 degrees of longitude-wide, it should be that two countries that are primarily separated by an east-west axis should be separated by a 2 or 2.5 hour flight, so this is a relevant question.
Regardless, there are a number of reasons why Spain and Bahrain are much further apart than their time-zones would indicate:
- Bahrain is only one hour ahead of Spain in summer because Spain has daylight savings time and Bahrain does not. There are actually two time-zones between Spain and Bahrain, not one. Spain is in GMT +1 and Bahrain is in GMT +3.
- However, Spain is actually in the incorrect time-zone for its longitude, it should be in GMT (UK time), not GMT +1 (German time). As a result there are actually three time-zone distances between Spain and Bahrain.
- Planes need to deviate from a strict path in order to avoid Syria, Iraq, and other trouble-spots in the Middle East.

Is 800 bahraini dinar salary enough to live with a family of one school going child in Bahrain?
Hi.. I have lived in Bahrain for around 6 months. According to me 800 Dinars is not enough to live a good life in Bahrain. You haven't written whether you would be provided accommodation. If yes then it means you would save 250 dinars approx. from rent. Other than that you and your family would spend around 150 dinars on food etc.. So overall you would just be earning enough to live well but not the way you may want to.

Current Events in Bahrain
Bahrain's king said a foreign plot against his Sunni-led island state had been foiled, and the head of the Gulf Cooperation Council said interference by Shi'ite Iran in the Gulf Arab states would not be tolerated. Confrontation between Sunnis and Shi'ites has stirred international tension in the oil-exporting region, gripped by its worst unrest in years. "An external plot has been fomented for 20 to 30 years until the ground was ripe for subversive designs... I here announce the failure of the plot," King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa was quoted as telling troops in a report by state news agency BNA. Had the plot succeeded, he said, it could have spilled into neighboring states. The king thanked troops brought in from fellow Sunni-ruled neighbors to help quell weeks of unrest following protests by mainly Shi'ite Bahrainis calling for political reform. He did not say who was behind the plot. The comments came after a day of tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions between Bahrain and Shi'ite power Iran. Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Abdulrahman al-Attiyah told reporters: "We reject any intervention in our internal affairs and among these countries (intervening) is Iran," after he was asked about troops from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates being sent to help the Bahrain government. Saudi-owned Al Arabiya television channel quoted Bahrain authorities as saying intelligence communications systems had been sent from Iran to the Bahraini opposition.
