As of 2012, “Pearling, Testimony of an Island Economy” has become the second World Heritage Site of the Kingdom of Bahrain as the testimony of its millennia-old pearl collecting tradition and the globally significant single-product island economy and social system it produced. “Pearling, Testimony of an Island Economy” is a serial nomination consisting of 15 property components: three vast oyster beds located in the northern territorial waters of Bahrain, one seashore site at the southern tip of Bahrain’s Muharraq Island, and nine clusters of historic buildings consisting of seventeen architectural structures embedded in the urban fabric of Muharraq city. Taken together, the fifteen individual sites reflect the final expression and last remaining – and thus outstanding – example of a cultural tradition that dominated the Arabian Gulf from prehistory to the early 20th century.

Route
Bu Mahir Fort Originally a solid, four-towered fort with massive defensive walls, Qal’at Bu Mahir dominated the Bu Mahir Seashore and played an essential role in the pearling economy.
Bu Mahir Seashore is located at the southernmost tip of Muharraq Island, on what was formerly a tidal island. Largely unchanged since the decline of the pearling economy in the 1930s, it is the only remaining authentic beach where the pearling season’s festivals were celebrated.
Pearl visitor centre
Running through the heart of Muharraq city, the souq is an atmospheric old Bahraini bazaar where all the needs of daily life are bought and bartered for. Near its southern end, Souq Al Qaisariya is an important part of the heritage pathway and offers a more historic take on the markets of Muharraq. Stroll through the market offering traditional clothing, jewelry, coffee, spices, and confectionary. Notice a variety of delicious sweets, especially the famous homemade halwa, which is perfect with a cup of qahwa.
Souq Al Baraha offers 468 retail spaces catering to the needs of all residents and visitors. The project is designed to celebrate the Bahraini traditional architectural style. Set to open in 2021, Souq Al Baraha will offer a family-friendly atmosphere with a local, modern touch. The project is located strategically in the heart of the Kingdom’s newest shopping and entertainment districts, Dragon City Bahrain and opposite to Marassi Galleria, which is set to be the biggest mall in Bahrain.

About Manama
Manama, Bahrain's capital, is a Gulf waterfront city where glass towers stand beside an old souq, grand mosques and relics of the pearling trade.
Manama sits on the north-eastern coast of Bahrain's main island, where the old gate of Bab Al Bahrain opens into the souq's narrow lanes of spices, gold, fabric and household goods. The Bahrain National Museum on the waterfront follows the island's story from the Dilmun civilisation to the pearl trade, and the Al Fateh Grand Mosque, with its large white dome, is one of the biggest in the Gulf.
Top-ranked sights in Manama: Al Fateh Grand Mosque, Al Areen Wildlife Park & Reserve, Shaikh Isa Bin Ali House.
