A huge project to lay foundations for the 47-storey Almoayyed Tower in the Seef District has been completed. It is the largest foundation exercise ever carried out in Bahrain and the tower will be the kingdom's tallest when it finished next March.

The Almoayyed Tower will stand over 200m high and will feature 41 storeys of commercial space. Its facilities will include a luxury health club, swimming pool, restaurant and 500 parking spaces.

Companies from Bahrain and Dubai have already snapped up office space in the tower.
