A major, much-awaited infrastructure project has been completed in Jid Al Haj, a historic area near Bahrain Fort – the country’s first Unesco World Heritage Site.
The project, which began in 2019 but for which no cost has been given, marks a ‘historic turning point’ in transforming the living conditions of the area’s residents after years of hardship, according to Northern Municipal Council chairman and area councillor Dr Sayed Shubbar Al Wedaie .
