Dar Al Khaleej to Begin New Phase of Historic Muharraq Revitalization
Dar Al Khaleej Trading and Contracting is preparing to launch a new stage in the 'Revive Historic Muharraq' project, focusing on building uniquely designed heritage-style villas worth BD 8.88 million.
The development, part of a subproject called Al Fareej, will include a wide range of works — from constructing new housing units and restoring existing homes to enhancing the overall look of the neighborhood. Plans call for both individual houses and clusters of homes spread across different locations, alongside the renovation of heritage buildings and upgrading of building facades through selective demolition and restoration.
Infrastructure in the area will also be modernized. This includes installing and replacing service networks, connecting them to main lines, creating parking spaces, building a mosque, and adding landscaped green areas. The project will be carried out in close coordination with government and private sector partners, following strict health, safety, and social standards.
Three local companies competed for the contract: Almoayyed Contracting, which submitted a bid of BD 15 million; Cebarco Bahrain W.L.L with BD 8.3 million; and Dar Al Khaleej, which ultimately secured the project.
The revitalization of Muharraq is one of Bahrain's largest urban development initiatives, launched under the directives of His Majesty the King. The overall plan involves constructing or restoring around 300 housing units, upgrading heritage building facades, implementing demolition and renovation works, and installing modern infrastructure linked to the main networks.
This stage will also see the construction of a mosque, more parking facilities, and new green spaces, giving the historic city a refreshed and vibrant look while preserving its traditional charm.
