A forgotten stretch of asphalt in the heart of old Manama could soon be transformed into a vibrant business square buzzing with cafés, antique shops, art boutiques and tourists – under an ambitious proposal backed by the Capital Trustees Board.
The prime car park overlooking the InterContinental Bahrain and linking Bab Al Bahrain with Bahrain Financial Harbour may be redeveloped into a modern public square ‘meidan’ situated above extensive underground parking.
The vision, spearheaded by Capital Trustees Board member Dr Bashar Ahmedi, has already won unanimous approval from the board and has been presented to Cabinet ministers for review.
