Is Bahrain a Safe Place to Visit?

Q: I may be going to Bahrain in October for 6 weeks working as a musician in a hotel. Has anyone been to Bahrain? If so, any pointers on the culture and environment?

A: I live in bahrain. It''s pretty much normal...I can wear basically whatever i want, except clothes that reveal too much e.g wearing a bikini in public. But you're allowed to at the beach and everything. You can wear anything to the mall except a really short skirt and a top that shows too much cleavage or whatever. Once my friend got kicked out of a mall for wearing clothes that were too revealing haha. Anyways Bahrains pretty modern, there are a lot of expatriates. Im sure you'll like it. It's practically the same as any other place. People overexaggerate a lot about bahrain and how strict it is, it really isn't. If you're going in october, it's cold and rainy. So bring sweaters, long sleeved tops and a light jacket.Oh and yes Bahrain is safe, iv'e lived here for seven years andnot once had a spot of bother ^^
