1 US$ = 0.377 BHD
120 US$ = 45 BHD

This may get you a room in a shared apartment.

If that’s per month, you won’t be able to find much… Whatever you find will be of a REALLY low quality and probably on a sharing basis.

Answer by kcsk
With that amount, you will only able to find shared accommodation with others.

First, the rate: 1 USD = 0.375 BHD
So, 120 USD = 45 BHD

You will find single bedroom flats very rarely, but 2 bedroom (+ living room) are very common. In “JUFFAIR” area, where many expats live, two bedroom fully furnished flats vary between 500 – 750 BHD monthly.

Working in Manama, Juffair is an optimum location for a residence. From Juffair, it takes 10 minutes to reach city center by car, and 15 minutes to airport. Well, the longest distance in Bahrain takes about 30 minutes to reach.

It is a very quiet, peaceful, reasonable, easy-living, friendly country.

thats extremely low for accomodation allowance, so you wont be able to find a good house for yourself in that range.
