Bahrain's only natural lake could be turned into a protected natural park under parliamentary moves to make it an eco-friendly tourist destination.
Area MP Dr Abdulla Al Thawadi has proposed that Al Luzi Lake be turned into a leisure destination – with ferries, water rides, floating restaurants and cafés, and merchandise outlets adding to the attraction.
The lake is home to thousands of migrating birds, besides other wildlife and marine species.
“The water is stagnant but fortunately it has not harmed life in the lake,” Dr Al Thawadi told the GDN. “The water flow problem, however, should have been resolved through special filtration and circulation equipment, which is long overdue.
“The move should be part of a massive project that turns the lake into a proper protected natural park, where people can enjoy their time and facilities.
“We are suggesting the introduction of ferries and water rides for visitors, even floating restaurants and cafés, besides other attractions, with all these suggestion offered right away to bidders and operators.”
