Its capital, Manama, is also the largest and most populous city. The Kingdom is considered one of the more liberal countries in the Gulf.  Bahrain is a small country, so you can get from one end of the island to the other in no time. Most expats live in Manama on Bahrain Island where the Central Business District (CBD) is located. Popular residential areas include Saar, Riffa, Amwaj Islands and Muharraq, with housing similar to most parts of the Gulf including gated communities, villas and apartments.   ### Request Free Quotation ![Moving to or from Bahrain; GAC; international movers; relocating; moving to Bahrain; moving from Bahrain](https://moving.gac.com/hs-fs/hubfs/bahrain%20bottom.jpg?width=1170&name=bahrain%20bottom.jpg "Moving to or from Bahrain; GAC; international movers; relocating; moving to Bahrain; moving from Bahrain") ![footer_Bg](https://moving.gac.com/hs-fs/hubfs/GAC-2019/footer_Bg.jpg?width=1440&height=630&name=footer_Bg.jpg "footer_Bg") GET STARTED ## THE VALUE OF EXPERIENCE Call us and then…Relax [![GAC-logo-white-124x107px](https://moving.gac.com/hubfs/GAC-logo-white-124x107px.png "GAC-logo-white-124x107px")](https://moving.gac.com/?hsLang=en) ### QUICK LINKS ### What our Certifications mean to you - [**](https://www.facebook.com/Gacinternationalmoving/) - [**](https://twitter.com/gac_moving) - [**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/gac-international-moving/) - [**](https://www.pinterest.com/gacinternationalmoving/) - [**](https://www.instagram.com/gacinternationalmoving/) © Copyright 2026.
