Muharraq

Muharraq Muharraq © Thierry Perrin / Hoa Qui

Muharraq, on the island of the same name, is joined to Bahrain by backfill on the sea. The souk maintains its booths, wrought iron bars and balconies painted green. Sheikh Isa's house, a real palace in the town, was restored in 1976. In a different style, the house of the merchant Beit Siyadi, a few minutes away from the souk, is unique for its decoration in stuccoed friezes and its wooden panelling on the ceilings. The Rashid Al-Oraifi Museum holds a beautiful collection of objects connected to the daily life of the Bahraini merchants.
