More beaches in Muharraq

Three new beaches could open in Muharraq within “a year or two”, a top official has said. Construction works, in collaboration with Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority, may begin by the end of this year or early next year, said outgoing Muharraq Municipal Council Chairman Mohammed Al Sinan.

He told Tribune that the new beaches will be in Galali, Al Hala and Al Ghous saying, “All of them are massive and will be open to the public, although there will be some sections that will be private.” “Works on all beaches will start almost at the same time,” he said adding that there is a chance that it could start by the end of this year. Speaking about some of the important projects during his term, he said, “In four years we had many impressive achievements in Muharraq.”

“Some of the projects include the beach in busaiteen, muharraq central market, jogging paths on Dair and Galali, four gardens and agreements on building three malls. Some of them have started while others are yet to start,” he told Tribune. “I am pleased with the achievements during my term. We are glad to know that people appreciate what we have done,” he added.

When asked about his advice to the new council, he told Tribune: “My advice to the new council is to keep up the momentum.” “Muharraq is in a great shape now,” he said adding that vigorous efforts are needed to maintain the progress. “If we do not keep up the efforts, all the previous efforts will go in vain. “But I have faith, I believe that the new council will continue to keep up our good work,” he told Tribune
