A much-awaited revamp of Old Manama Suq promising to blend heritage with modernity is set to start next year.
Recommendations and observations made by numerous parties concerned over ideas presented by a local consultant hired last year will be debated at the Old Manama Suq Development Committee meeting next month.
Capital Trustees Board chairman Saleh Tarradah, who is also a member of the development committee, pointed out that the proposed revamp would be divided into three phases: the Bab Al Bahrain area, the Fish Roundabout area and the Downtown Manama area.
