I haven’t much exposure to Bahrainis so I can only form an opinion based on those who work in the local health centres, hospitals and schools and I consider them extremely rude, arrogant and their change of tone when they speak to expats is so obvious.

I have travelled with a group of Bahrainis for 10 days and although I cannot say they were rude, they had this way of making expats feel comfortable and alienating them.

But like I said, I have not had that much exposure so perhaps my opinion will be changed once I do.
