Efforts are underway to tackle severe parking and traffic challenges at the Old Muharraq Suq, believed to be the oldest market in the region, following mounting concerns from traders, visitors and municipal officials.
The Muharraq Municipal Council, led by its chairman and area councillor Abdulaziz Al Naar, announced yesterday that a landmark deal had been reached with Amakin – Bahrain’s national car parking operator – to convert municipal plots into payable car parks.
