Summary: Many expats and digital nomads move to Bahrain due to its low cost of living, tax-free salaries, and its vibrant culture. Additionally, Bahrain is a great place to live for those who want to experience the Middle East without the restrictions of other countries in the region. People can find a place to live in Bahrain by searching online for rental properties, or by using a real estate agent. The most popular cities for expats and digital nomads in Bahrain are Manama, Riffa, and Muharraq.

"Before moving to Bahrain, expats should be aware of the country's culture and customs. It is important to respect the local culture and dress modestly in public. Expats should also be aware of the local laws and regulations, and familiarize themselves with the local language, Arabic. Additionally, expats should research the cost of living in Bahrain and the availability of healthcare and other services.
