    Dear Fendi,

    Im not that sure about Muharraq. But in areas close-by like Busaiteen, Hidd (few minutes drive), you can find furnished apartments within your budget. I'm guessing you will be in the company's accomodation for a small period, during that time scan the papers, take a walk - there are real estate agencies almost everywhere.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Hi Aravinth
    Thanks for the tips. Really appreciate it.
    1. If I accept the offer, my office will be at Muharraq. Can I get a fully furnished flat/apartment less than BD300 in Muharraq?

    Dear Fendi,

    Welcome to the forum!

    1. Semi* furnished apartments monthly rental- Studio flat BD240+; 1 bedroom BD 300+; 2 bedroom BD 350+
    2. There are a lot of rental companies here. ELITE is a very competitive car rental --> http://elitehiring.com/rates.htm; even for hatch backs.
    3. If you cook at home, yes BD 180 will suffice.
    4. Your entertainment expense is quite sufficient.

    * for fully furnished flats you might have to do a bit of running around. They are available for similar rates Fully furnished single bedroom --> BD 350 and above

    Hope this helps.

    Good Luck!

    2. What is the minimum car rental per month? Preferably automatic (not manual) compact car.
    3. is BD180 for food for a month sufficient for a single person?
    4. BD200 for monthly entertainment expenses like shopping, etc (no clubbing / drinking)?
