InterNations — A Community for American Expats in Manama
Hello to all Americans in Manama! Are you interested in getting to know fellow expats in Manama? Looking for advice from other Americans, e.g. wondering if there are any bars in Manama which will be showing your favorite baseball or American football team’s upcoming match or where to go in town for st￭ turkey?
There’s no doubt about it: Manama is a very international city. The Bahraini capital is a cosmopolitan city known for its historic sights, old souq (bazaar), varied cuisine, strong banking and retail sectors, and much more! With the local bus services and a comprehensive road network, navigating your way around the city from one place to the next is simple. This also means that if you don’t want to live among the hustle and bustle of the center, you can enjoy a quieter life in the suburban districts, which are just an easy commute away from Manama’s center.
Although Manama has lots to offer, you might be wondering where and how you can meet other Americans in the city. Luckily, InterNations is here to make this easier for you! You’re warmly invited to join the InterNations community. Within our international network in Manama, there’s a vibrant circle of American expats from all regions of USA, including New York City, Los Angeles, and beyond.

Despite the very diverse, very international character of Bahrain, I felt quite lonely as an expat -- before joining InterNations, that is.
