A private heritage village in Arad, located in the heart of Bahrain’s first capital, is undergoing a major transformation.
Founded by history and folk culture teacher Ali Al Mutawa on land inherited from his family, the Heritage Village is currently closed for extensive remodelling and is scheduled to reopen in September with a new, expanded concept.
The initiative, which began as a personal passion project, has grown into a symbol of community heritage preservation. Once a humble 10-square-metre space beside Mr Al Mutawa’s home, the village has become a beloved cultural attraction, drawing interest from students, families and heritage enthusiasts across the kingdom.
