A historic neighbourhood in Muharraq is set to regain its original name and identity after the Muharraq Municipal Council unanimously approved a proposal to officially restore the title of ‘Government District’ (Fareej Al Hukooma in Arabic) to the area east of the old Muharraq Casino, currently known as Fareej Al Oummal (workers’ houses).
The initiative, spearheaded by council’s services and public utilities committee chairman and area councillor Abdulqader Al Sayed, aims to reinstate the name on maps, signages and official documents, recognising the neighbourhood’s rich historical legacy .
