Visitors entering Bahrain from Saudi Arabia via the King Fahad Causeway will soon be greeted with signboards highlighting national landmarks and tourist attractions, under a new initiative unanimously approved yesterday by the Southern Municipal Council.
The proposal, spearheaded by council chairman Abdulla Abdullatif, aims to enhance Bahrain’s visibility and promote lesser-known cultural and historical destinations to Gulf visitors, while encouraging longer stays and deeper engagement with local communities.
“We have a lot to offer in Bahrain – the causeway is our biggest artery,” said Mr Abdullatif. “However, only limited sites have proper signboards. People from across the Gulf want to know more about landmarks such as Shaikh Salman bin Ahmed Al Fateh Fort in Riffa, the Tree of Life in the Jebel Al Dukhan area, and the first oil field in Awali, among other attractions.”
