Make sure you have the correct Bahrain insurance in place before you go to work, live or travel in this Persian Gulf state.

DANGERS YOU MIGHT ENCOUNTER IN BAHRAIN
Ancient Sumerians believed that this chain of thirty or so islands in the Persian Gulf was paradise on earth. Today, it is a luxury holiday destination and business centre, but recent political turbulence has made Bahrain a dangerous place to visit, work and live. Your Bahrain insurance cover should reflect the uncertainty of the security situation.
There are curfews in place throughout the kingdom and on the waterways around Bahrain, when any movement is restricted. Make sure you know the curfew times – you are strongly advised to respect them.
Be vigilant at any time – political flare-ups in public places are possible. Avoid large gatherings and demonstrations. Emergency medical treatment is not free, so make sure your Bahrain insurance includes comprehensive medical cover.Hospitals may be compromised during the unrest, so evacuation cover is advisable.
Approach sea travel in the Gulf with caution. Some areas are highly sensitive and vessels have been detained, so make enquires before you set out. Safety can be an issue when travelling by dhow – ensure that life jackets are available.
