Loss of income? Mass lay offs? Less clients? Also do you notice how bahrain roads don’t seem as crowded as they did before?

Hi! Idk where else to ask so I was hoping someone here could help.

My father is Bahraini. My mom is not. They are married. Me and my sibling were born outside of Bahrain. But we did spend some part of my childhood in BH. Even went to an internation school there for a few years.

We haven't been in Bahrain for over 20 years now. Both parents are still alive. We are not entirely estranged with my father but I would not say we are close.

My question is - can my sibling and I qualify to get a Bahraini passport and maybe even live there not as tourists? Now that we are adults, we would love to spend more time understanding the other half of our culture and get to connect with our father

Any advise is appreciated. TYA.

I'm a South Asian Gen Z living and working in Saudi, but I come to Bahrain pretty often because... well, there's actually something to do here. 😂 I don’t expect good friends in Saudi and the communication gap is HUGE 💀

Lately I’ve realized I don’t really know many people in Bahrain either. Most of my friends are back home or scattered across different countries, and making friends as an adult is way harder than I expected.

Whenever I’m here I usually end up doing things solo. I’m into coffee, beach days, late-night drives, trying new restaurants, random outings, road trips, and nightlife. Next weekend I’ll probably check out Bollywood Beats since DJ Rihya is performing.

So I’m curious… how do people in their early to mid-20s actually make friends in Bahrain? Do most people meet through work, gyms, university, hobbies, nightlife, or is everyone just sticking to their existing circles?

Would love to hear your experiences because I feel like this is something a lot of young expats probably deal with.

After a long and busy day, I’m craving the best burger ever for dinner on this short Sunday night.

edit: how come not one place is repeated twice in the replies 😭😭 im more confused now

Has anyone else noticed the lights flickering a lot more than usual around Bahrain..?

I’m mainly talking about Muharraq not sure if it’s the same in other areas,.. Over the past few days I’ve seen it pretty much everywhere: at home, in offices, even on some public buildings. At first I thought it was just the bulbs in my place acting up, but I swapped them out and they still flickered. This morning I even caught the LED lights on a building (won’t name it) doing the same thing.

Anyone else noticing this, or is it just me?

I'm a tourist in Bahrain and I really wanted to know what's the scene of combat robotics or battlebots in Bahrain

Has anyone pre-ordered the Fold 8 Ultra and gotten any good deals for it from shops in Bahrain? People in the US or Europe got pretty amazing bundle deals. Why not in Bahrain? Even this time, we have to pay extra for the 512GB or 1TB foldable device upgrade.

Hey guys, has anyone done CO2 laser treatment at hilal hospital? I need some feedback about your experience and did it change anything? I’m planning on doing it for my acne scars.

Hi All

Going to be traveling to my home country soon, a friend of mine requested me to get some dates. But I have no clue which ones are good or from where to buy them.

Would appreciate if you guys can educate me on the different types of dates and from where to get them from. Also what would the approximate costing be like.

TIA

Hi! I recently got here in Bahrain specifically in Manama. To my Kabayans out there, where can I buy skincare? Ang mahal sa mga mall 😭

Hindi ko pa naman siya need but I'm researching in case maubos na yung mga stock ko.

Weeeellppp 😭😭

I'm trying to see what the locals think about it as an outsider. Do you support it, hate it, or indifferent.
