How does Manama compare?

Silicon Francisco · August 6th, 2006, 07:29 AM

I always wondered, how does living in Manama/Bahrain compare to Doha/Qatar?

I think Bahrain is still better than Qatar in most things, Qatar has still a long way to go especially after Bahrain awakening in the last 3 years.

Regarding Dubai I think it's cheaper in Bahrain and people are more friendly.
Other things I think the gap is getting smaller but Dubai will still be better in terms of Building, Shopping , and Entertainment for quite some time. I think our weather is a bit cooler though

I think Bahrain is more liberal than Doha...Both people are nice and generous and its quite cheap to live in both i would think.

Both Bahrain and Qatar woke up recently and are doing a great job,Bahrain might look abit better now but Doha will do so in the future.

I want to know the differences between the two and their main cities. Living in general, like things to do, people ect. Is either one better?
