- Answering questions about my recent move to the Middle East and how it’s been being black living abroad.
•Why did I move? Are there black people in Bahrain? How strict is it living in a Muslim country? How was it apartment hunting? How is working with an 8 hour time difference? Cost of living , major differences and more.

Mabrook on your move 🎉🎉. As someone who's lived there, it was soooo hard moving back to the states. I felt so much safer living there than here. Touching on what you said, people don't realize that crime is low there also because a lot of people who immigrate there from India, Sri Lanka, the Philippines are terrified to be deported because that is how they provide for their family back home which is insane thinking about how much they get paid. Our live-in nanny was paid like $500 a month and that was more than the norm at that time. And I couldn't agree more on how much the difference between what it's like living in a Muslim country is like vs the radical Islamic propaganda portrayed.
Thank you! Very very true so many service workers are here all alone and send all their check home every month to their wife and kids. Most said they only see them once or twice a year. I already know it’s gonna be so hard leaving 😭😭
I'm from Bahrain and live in SF, California now. Since I lived in both places, I can definitely say that you did a really good job with the info you provided and the details. I love Bahrain, and I will always come back. I also love the US, but now I started realizing and experiencing a lot of the negatives you mentioned. But anyways having both US and Bahrain to call home is amazing. I wish you all the best and a wonderful time in Bahrain
Thank you so much ! Hope you enjoy your journey in the USA !
Omg I feel like I’m stalking you!! But you have just been giving me so much life and living what I have been saying for years!! I found you from your Tik tok lives and am so grateful your information is literally changing my life and I can’t wait for it to come to fruition!! I’m so happy , thank you thank you 🙏🏽 and goodbye America 🇺🇸!!
I'm a black man, 35 divorced, no kids. I've been offered a position for $100k tax free in Bahrain and $120k tax free in Dubai. Is that enough money to live well there?
What your job
Absolutely, not only is it enough you will live very comfortable!
Crazy i live in Atlanta and found this the day i said I’m moving abroad 😂😂 the algorithm be algorithm-ing
This is literally what’s happening to me. I got offered a position I just couldn’t refuse, it’s exactly aligned with what I’m good at and passionate for, so I’m going. Thank you for this
Thank you for the videos especially being a black woman, I’ll be moving there soon 👏🏽
Absolutely ! I know how it is when your looking for information and can’t find it . I’ll be posting more videos about Bahrain soon .
Such a comprehensive, informative video. You’re beautiful! X
Thank you so much !
You did a great job summing up Bahrain.
Great video, really enjoyed it. Thanks!😊👍
Another tip. Choose a room or something smaller, in a huge hall or reception area, sound is not as clear
Great information…visiting family there soon! Your video answered many of my questions ❤
So you mean anyone can go to a hospital & school for free, didn't know that. I haven't checked in to medical or went to immigration yet, but I am going tomorrow. Very excellent video. I miss the cheaper prices back in 2010-2012. Its still less expensive than the states. What spas for facials do you recommend?... I found a Dr. Tariq on google, then end up seeing a billboard with his face off the freeway for facial procedures. I will try him after I save some money up.
Hello you didnt really touch on haircare especially as a black woman. Is there hair salons for our texture hair that do braids/weaves etc ? Also what jobs are available for people that dont have any affiliation with military ?
That’s exactly what I want to know lol I move there tomorrow and was curious about being able to find a hair stylist or if it would even be possible for black hair types.
Great video. I make me want to go to Bahrain. When it comes to measuring cm/kg etc ppl need to realize that most of the world use one thing while America does it’s own thing.😂 I’m also surprised that they drive on the right side of the road and the car seat thing is like many countries. Most countries don’t use car seats.😂😂 LOVE that healthcare and education is free.
Hey, where do you go for your nails?... Are they acrylic or hard gel?... I get mine done at the base Nex, I got sculptured nails with hard real gel, not powder which is acrylic, we've been lied too for so long. My nails were completely damaged from acrylic, so they recommended the hard gel, which is very strong & she put it on thicker too. It's been 3 weeks & and I haven't broken one nail.
@@kellirossnicole I go to a place called mb_studio102 on instagram . It’s privately owned. I’ve been going to her for 2 years tell her Bella sent you !
How did you get a 10 year visa?...
Im go in july to manama. Its possible to have you like a guide :)
I am a Filipino Architect and I wanna live in Bahrain. How are Filipino expats treated in that country?
Thank you so much for all this information. Do they have good hair salons as well?
Also Can Americans go to college and is it transferable to the US?
They definitely have great hair salons here I’ll touch on it in the next video and good question about the college . Let me ask around and do some research. I just know it’s only free to Bahrainis
Hi Bella! I briefly lived there back in 2019 and will be moving back with my family and toodler. I had a hard time finding friends from the state since I’m not in the military. Do you know of any fb or any other groups? Trying to find my tribe lol
@@YandeG1 so most of the groups I know on Facebook are military focused but they will allow you to join anyways . There are also a few expat in Bahrain groups on Facebook . But I’ve mostly met people organically ❤️ one organization that’s great is blackinbahrain.com or blacknbahrain on Instagram
❤❤❤
Loved this.
Thank you for watching 🫶🏽
HI THE BELLA ROSE!!!!!
Hi Baili Nicole
What are the Cons
I don’t really have any I love Bahrain but if I had to say something it would be the summer time heat . It’s like 104-110 daily even after sunset.
you still here?
@@yehudiee yep !
lit shit!!!
and dont diss men out there, u will get stoned for that
Stoned is a bit extreme and crazy . Not true .
Does Bahrain have black barbers who are the only ones in the earth who are good at cutting and shaping up black hair because they know how to cut and shape it up because they are not racist?
