Muharraq, the Kingdom’s former capital, preserves much of Bahrain’s pearling heritage, with a trail of historic houses and sites recognised for their cultural value.
The city tells the story of an economy that once depended on pearl diving, before oil reshaped the country.
Its restored buildings and lanes have made it a centre for heritage tourism and cultural events.
Muharraq remains a touchstone for Bahrain’s sense of identity and history.
