Would I be allowed to buy a residential property in Bahrain?

I am British (living in the UK) and not a Muslim. I have been asked to consider a job in Bahrain, which I am considering. I am likely to be there for at least two years but I will have to pay for my own accomodation. I know that a few years ago when I was last there there, I would not have been able to purchase property. However, I am not sure what the situation is at the moment. Would I be allowed to buy a residential property in Bahrain for me to live in? Where would I be able to get this confirmed?

    Yes you can since 2001 this has been possible for foreigners regardless of their religion. You can find properties on the Amberland or Right Move website. Good luck and enjoy your two years there. I loved my time in Bahrain and wouldn't have missed it for the world.

    Most expat's rent in Bahrain. Investing there has some risk. There are several very nice compounds that cater to expats.
