3) English and Arabic
Like the people of Dubai and Singapore, almost everyone speaks English and Arabic in this country. Therefore, business, tourism and investment in Bahrain should be a smooth experience.

Bahrain’s cheapest gasoline is priced at NT$15/liter, but it is still about three times more expensive than in Saudi Arabia.
8.1 Automotive travel between Saudi Arabia and Bahrain is made conveniently possible via a 1.5-hour drive over a cross-sea bridge. In order to prevent Bahrainis from purchasing cheaper gasoline from Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Arabian government restricts all Bahraini vehicles from carrying more than half a tank of gasoline upon their return to Bahrain, and no extra gasoline may be purchased.

Bahrain has a population of about 1.31 million, which is equivalent to the population of Changhua County, yet there are five telecommunications service providers, resulting in fierce competition.
