guaranteeing uber to airport by GuestPoster95685
So, if I want to make sure that I can get a taxi via Uber to the airport on Monday evening, how do I go about it? I don't want to get packed up and flip open the app to find there are no cars. Is it possible to arrange uber in advance?

Admission Test for St. Chris by ElixirAli
Hi all, My son is taking the admission test for year 8 at St. Christopher's School in Bahrain. I was wondering how the test would look like. Any tips to help him prepare would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Good Morning, My wife looking for female driving instructor to learn extra hours. Preferably Arabic speaking or French. We pay per hour. My wife has Bahraini DL. Thanks, as ever
