Manama, the capital of Bahrain, has been rated the best city to live in worldwide by expats in a new survey. It beat off competition from 50 other cities in this year's Expat City Survey from InterNations. Manama scored well across most indices, though it suffered slightly in certain areas like public transport. Prague came second, followed by Madrid. Dublin came a dismal 47th in the ranking, primarily due to a lack of affordable housing and a high cost of living. Paris was also rated one of the very worst cities to emigrate to, coming in 49th, just behind Riyadh.
