300 Homes Anchor Muharraq Old Quarter Revamp
Six old Muharraq neighbourhoods are 73pc through a major rebuild spanning about 300 homes, 72 public squares and nearly 100,000 trees.
Roads, car parks, lanes and power, water and sewerage networks are also being renewed under the first phase, which began in 2023.
A total of 247 properties were bought for the work, with every owner paid under agreed valuation rules, said Shaikh Mohammed bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, Undersecretary for Municipalities Affairs.
The scheme will guide later work across Muharraq while keeping its old façades, alleys and neighbourhood character.
Fatima Al Mannai, Undersecretary at the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning, said crews were working in crowded areas where homes, schools and shops remained open. The 73pc rate showed the work was moving to plan, she said.
