Colors of Isa Town - traditions, festivals, mentality and lifestyle
Bahrain is a multinational country, so there are many people from different countries here. However, immigrants from India, Pakistan, and the Philippines are the most widespread. Many newcomers open their business in Bahrain because the country’s laws stimulate both small and big business. As a rule, these are restaurants, banks, hair salons, travel firms, and taxi services. Isa Town is no exception. Indigenous people treat everyone with respect (of course, if newcomers respect local rules), so tourists can always rely on them and ask them for help.
This big number of foreign immigrants is also the reason why there are no language problems in Isa Town. Almost everyone speaks English, and some are so fluent in this language that they could compete with the British. That being said, every indigenous person would feel flattered if a tourist could say several phrases in Arabian. By simply saying “Marhaba” (Hello), it is possible to make local people smile. To say goodbye, simply use phrases like “Salam” or “Maʿ al-salāmah”. It is better to learn these simple phrases (and several others, such as “sorry”, “don’t understand”).

Just like in any other Muslim country, family and relatives are the most important for local people. Keep in mind that it may even be not allowed to enter some venues without the other half – local people treat family really seriously. In their opinion, family activities are the “right” and the only possible way to have fun. A big family is the main treasure for local people. One child is very rare in the family, so most families have many children. If a relative needs help, the whole family will gather and think how they can help and solve each other’s problems.

National traditions of Bahrain
Family is extremely important for the people of the country. Women get married very early, starting at the age of 14. Men marry later – in 20-22 years. It is customary to pay a ransom for brides. Polygamy is permitted by Sharia. But each wife should have a separate comfortable home. There are also temporary marriages (muta). They are accepted exclusively by Shiites. A woman receives a reward at the end of such a marriage. The rights of a woman are formally equated with the rights of an ordinary wife. Her children are also considered legitimate. She is entitled to a mahr (gift from her husband). The marriage can be extended an unlimited number of times. A woman must take a break before entering into a new marriage after it ends.
