Are there many brits in Bahrain as there are in Dubai?

• Hello I've just been offered a job in Bahrain, but I don't know whether to go. I've lived in Dubai for 5 years and I love it there. If you are English as I am it is a home from home.I was wondering if Bahrain had a large British community like Dubai? Not that I have any problem with people of other nationalities, but it is just that you tend to have similar interests with people who are of the same origin as you. Thanks

• Brits in Bahrain!

  Hi! I'm actually Canadian but I live in Bahrain. There are lots of British people here. In fact, we have a British Club and since you are from the UK, you can join without any issues. Bahrain is a very fun and exciting place to be. I've actually been to Dubai a couple of times and I prefer Bahrain because it feels cozier. What brings you round here?

• From the Canadian

  I'm just looking this site, and found your 2 messages. I am 1/2 Canadian and 1/2 British if there is such a thing? I was wondering if there were many Canadians in Bahrain, and would you send your kid to a British School or an American. I'm leaning towards Brit.

• From Dubai to Bahrain

  Hi,
  we lived in Dubai before coming here. There are plenty of Brits here and 2 British schools. British school Baharin and St Chris'. Though, they have all nationalities - my daughter only has 2 other Brits in her class. It's okay though. There is a thread about them

  There are 2 main Brit Clubs, the Dilmun Club has a huge membership and have a lot of things going on, but you have to be quick 'signing' up for things. It's located in a big ExPat area called Saar. The British club is the other club, but from what I've been told, it's very 'old school' type of Club and most members are the typical 'Hate Everything Not British' stereo type.
  Bahrain is more expensive for food and clothing too. I was shocked just how much more expensive it is. And if you imagine Dubai is a city that is manic, like New York, then Bahrain is like a Kendal in the Lake district.
  Good Luck
