The Bahrain Petroleum Company (Bapco) hosted a delegation from the Bahrain Society in London as part of their visit to the Kingdom from April 25 to May 1.

The Bahrain Society in London brings together all British people who spent periods of their childhood or their working careers in the Kingdom of Bahrain during the previous years, and many of them experienced different stages of the development of Bapco.

The visit’s programme included a visit to Cathedral of Our Lady of Arabia on April 29, to see its distinctive engineering design and the various sections it contains, followed by a tour of the Awali area, which was established in the wake of the discovery of oil in Bahrain in the 1930s to provide housing and entertainment for the expatriate workers of the company.

A documentary about the history of the Bahrain Petroleum Company since its inception and the stages of development that the company and the city of Awali have gone through over the years was reviewed.

Members of the visiting delegation expressed their thanks and appreciation to Bapco for the warm reception and hospitality, reviewing their memories of their stay in Bahrain and Awali.
