General overview

Beautiful home in small, gated community close to everything on the small, welcoming island of Bahrain. Beautiful community pool steps from our front door and well-equipped gym. Our house is located near the very busy Budaiya Highway, with several restaurants and shops selling everything you need. Many places are within a 10-minute walk, although you may want to drive taking into account the extreme heat in the summer.

The space

3 bedrooms, all with ensuite baths. Guest bath downstairs. Lots of space. Large garden and outdoor space.

Guest access

Several stairs, not great for young children.

Notes

Bahrain is a peaceful, bustling island. Uber and Careem is widely available and inexpensive. Driving can be a bit hair-raising so you may not be comfortable renting a car if you haven't driven in the Middle East before. Traffic jams and accidents occur frequently. Large malls and shopping districts are 10 minutes away by car. *Bahrain is not as well organized as Dubai and streets are very narrow or just fall off into the sand. Although an island, clean beaches are hard to find. Some have private memberships. Needless to say, this is not the place for a beach holiday. We have 2 small dogs, whom we board when travelling or will hire a maid to stay in the maid's room to watch them while we're gone.

Tammy

Hello! We're Americans, here in The Middle East for almost 8 years already. I'm a teacher (Tammy) and Allan is an engineer. We have 2 kids who have been all over the world. Since I have summers off, and the same vacation days as our kids, we often travel as a threesome, and Allan (hopefully) joins us for a few days at the beginning or end of a trip.
