dimk,
I have been here only for two weeks, but I already feel this was a good move. Work environment I would say is really professional, locals don't make you feel like the invasor, they just want to make you part of the team. The camp is enormous, with a lot of things to do. I have to admit that the heat is tough but I heard it gets better toward the end of September. The city is, as per my opinion, a regular city, with different rules, but I just got back from the mall with the family and we are exhausted as it is huge, with the same brands that you could find in any mall anywhere (but more luxurious). The restaurants are really good, and you have almost all kind of restaurants from local food to italian, indian, american but not canadian... as canadian food is pretty much based on bacon and that is a no no here. I am waiting for my iqama to experience Bahrain. But in general a great life style.
