Mining requires a large upfront investment of time, money, and energy (no pun intended). Unfortauntely, given the current price of Bitcoin and block difficulty, mining isn't profitable.

Electricity is one of the leading factors of Bitcoin mining profitability, or any other cryptocurrency for that matter.

If the value of the tokens you're mining is greater than the cost of electricity, your mining operation will be profitable.

Unfortunately, the mining gold rush has ended, and profitably mining isn't feasible anymore for the average Joe.

Bahrain has electricity prices compared to the likes of China and India. It is less than half that of the United States.

So, if you are going to start mining, it wouldn't be a terrible idea to do it in Bahrain, thanks to their low energy costs.

But even with cheap electricity and the best mining hardware you'll have a tough time earning money.

Mining Bitcoin will require a significant upfront cost, and you most likely won't see a return on your investment. You'll spend more money on power than you'll earn in Bitcoin. Check out our Bitcoin mining calculator if you want to determine your expected margins.
