A call to allocate a large slice of seaside space in Muharraq for members of the public to enjoy ‘for free’ has been made by the council’s leader.
The Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority (Btea) is planning multiple tourist attractions on the coastline, which lies on the same stretch as the Coastguard headquarters.
It follows the property being handed over by the Muharraq Municipality for investment purposes. Fishermen currently occupy part of the patch illegally because they complain that they have no space in the nearby Muharraq Jetty.
