Bahrain ranks high on a list of best countries for expats. What’s it like for foreign professionals in the archipelago? A lesser-known part of the Gulf region, the tiny nation of Bahrain – which in area is 200 times smaller than the US state of Florida – has a population of just 1.5 million people.

“There are good opportunities in Bahrain for people who work hard,” Alaa Nofal, a software provider from Jordan, explains. Although he could do his job from Jordan, he says Bahrain is a better place to live and work, “and people here are very professional and open-minded”.

When it came to Bahrain, nearly 60% said the work culture was better than in their home country. The kingdom also scored well for job security, personal fulfilment and career progression opportunities.Nofal said that in his experience, people felt secure in their jobs in Bahrain and were loyal to their employers. Within his firm, he said those that left nearly always did so to go home, rather than to join another company or take up another expatriate posting.
