Is it possible to live in Bahrain and commute to Dammam each day for work?

Hi, I'm thinking of living in Bahrain while continuing to work in Dammam. Are there any legal procedures for doing this and is it common? What are the ups and downs of living in Bahrain and commuting to Dammam? I hear Bahrain has a lot of perks as far as lifestyle but I also hear it can be more expensive.
