Bahrain: Shop Ordered To Pay BD8,000 In Unpaid Municipal Fees
A shop in Muharraq has been ordered to pay BD8,000 in overdue municipal charges, following a ruling by the High Administrative Court. The case was brought by the Muharraq Municipality after the shop owner failed to respond to repeated notices demanding payment. The council submitted a copy of the utility bill and a detailed breakdown of fees tied to the rented premises, showing the amount outstanding. Fees The court referred to Articles 35 and 36 of the 2001 Decree-Law on Municipalities, which provide that councils may charge fees for the use of services and facilities under their control. Regulations issued in 2002 confirm that rented properties are subject to monthly charges equal to ten per cent of the approved rental value, regardless of the activity or lease period. Evidence The judge found the evidence sufficient to prove that the shop owner had not paid the dues. He did not appear in court and offered no reply. There was no record of any payment.

Muharraq Governorate Hosts 'Haiya Beya' Heritage Festival to Celebrate Eid Al-Adha
The Muharraq Governorate brought the spirit of heritage to life with the 'Haiya Beya' Heritage Day Festival, held on the scenic Sunrise Coast at Sama Bay Park in Qalali. Muharraq Governor His Excellency Salman bin Isa Bin Hindi Al Mannai marked the occasion by extending warm Eid Al-Adha greetings and blessings to His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister. Highlighting the festival's cultural importance, the Governor said the 'Haiya Beya' celebration is a cherished part of Bahrain's identity, embodying the island's deep-rooted customs and strengthening intergenerational bonds. The event was a festive spectacle featuring the distribution of traditional 'Haiya Beya' plants to children, who later took part in the symbolic tradition of tossing them into the sea—a ritual that carries hopes and blessings for the days ahead. Traditional songs, chants, and a variety of popular local foods added to the day's nostalgic charm. The Governor praised the event's atmosphere and expressed gratitude to all partners who contributed to its success. A special thanks was extended to the Ministry of Interior, Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority, Muharraq Municipality, InterGulf Insurance Brokers, Kashta Tours, and Friends of Gardens Nursery for their vital support. The 'Haiya Beya' Festival stands as a proud testament to Bahrain's enduring traditions and the Muharraq Governorate's dedication to preserving and celebrating its cultural legacy for future generations.
