BAHRAIN Car Parks Company (Amakin) has announced the ground-breaking for a multi-storey car-park facility as part of Phase II of Sa’ada Project in Muharraq.

With a total built-up area of 21,000 sq m, the Amakin-Pearls will feature over 400 parking lots for visitors to Shaikh Hamad Road, reported BNA. The ground-breaking ceremony was attended by Shaikh Khalid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa, Deputy Prime Minister, along with other senior government officials.

Speaking on the occasion, Shaikh Khalid emphasised the importance of enhancing infrastructure in heritage areas to preserve their historical and cultural significance.

“This aligns with the directives of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa to protect Bahrain’s historical identity and the guidance of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, who closely follows up on these efforts,” he stated.

Shaikh Khalid also highlighted the need to balance heritage preservation with urban development, a key aspect of the government’s vision to transform historical sites, including Muharraq, into attractive heritage tourism destinations equipped with modern facilities for easy access.
