Historic mosques and cemeteries – some dating back more than 500 years – are set to undergo large-scale restoration and development starting next month.
The multi-million dinar initiative, spearheaded by the Jaffari Waqf (Endowments) Directorate in co-ordination with the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities (Baca), will see iconic religious sites revitalised with modern facilities, while safeguarding their historical and cultural value, in a landmark move aimed at preserving Bahrain’s deep-rooted Islamic heritage .
