PLANS have been announced to build a BD55-million ($145.1 million) tourist resort opposite the Arad Fort in Muharraq, Bahrain.
The resort is expected to include a hotel, luxurious villas and a traditional Bahraini marketplace surrounded by natural scenery.
The project is being carried out by Bahrain developer Bareeq Al Retaj Real Estate Services, which can now approach ministries and government bodies for permits to carry out work.
The development, which is located near Bahrain International Airport, the Arad Fort and Arad Bay, is expected to have huge attractions for families within the resort.
