Manama - A major waterfront development along a 14 kilometre stretch of Bahrain’s coastline has been approved.

The project has been given the green light by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Prime Minister, in his capacity as chairman of the Higher Urban Planning Committee.

A conceptual masterplan for the large-scale project includes a detailed proposal to develop the shoreline between Juffair and the King Faisal Corniche, via Muharraq. It features a wide range of facilities including public beaches, walkways, green spaces and restaurants, as well as cycling and running facilities.

The Higher Urban Planning Committee has prioritised the waterfront masterplan as an important opportunity to integrate Bahrain’s natural environment within modern, high quality development, according to a statement issued by the Bahrain News Agency.

A video highlighting the location of the coastal development was shared on Twitter last night by Court of the Crown Prince communications adviser Isa Al Hammadi.
