A major coastal area next to Bahrain Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is set for development after the Capital Trustees Board approved a new plan for the Karbabad coast.
The proposal, submitted by Municipal Council member Abdulhasan Hasan Abbas, was endorsed during the council session and covers the government-owned plot adjacent to the historic site.
The project aims to enhance the coastal environment through landscaping, seating areas and solar-powered lighting, which will improve the visitor experience while preserving the site’s cultural and historical identity.
Authorities stressed that all work will comply with conditions set by the Tourism Ministry and the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities, ensuring the site's visual integrity remains protected.
Officials said the project aims to support tourism, encourage social and recreational activities, meet residents' needs, preserve the site's historical significance, and contribute to the broader development of Bahrain’s coastal areas.
The decision was approved unanimously, reflecting strong institutional backing for the project.
