A renewed effort is underway to reopen and revitalise Ain Adhari, one of Bahrain’s most cherished natural landmarks, which has remained closed to the public since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020.
For generations, Ain Adhari was a watery paradise for Bahraini families – a place synonymous with cool natural springs, shaded gathering spots and simple communal joy.
Its cultural and historical value runs deep, marking it as one of the kingdom’s most famous natural springs and an enduring symbol of local heritage.
The site last underwent a major transformation in 2006, when it was redeveloped into a modern swimming pool and recreation area. However, persistent structural problems, including cracks, water seepage and damage to tiles, resulted in repeated closures before it was eventually shut down completely in 2020.
Previous attempts to relaunch the project faltered, with limited investor interest despite bids floated through the Tender Board.
