Efforts are in full swing to fully revamp facilities and services at the Manama Central Market to better cater for the needs of Bahraini merchants and their customers.

Three major commercial complexes, which include 665 units, form part of the impressive market development featuring state-of-the-art environmentally-friendly elements, officials outlined.

“The Manama Central Market is the kingdom’s largest, most important and prominent central market in Bahrain providing produce for the entire kingdom and covering a 141,000sqm plot of land,” said Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture Minister Wael Al Mubarak during the latest official field visit to the site. “It is critical to complete the market facilities development project according to plans which include shading the fish market – an area of 932sqm.
