The Manama Souq and Gold Souq in the old district of Manama are also popular with tourists. |
Ceramicware has been attracting tourists at the souq which has a workshop to show how potters in days gone by created their masterpieces. |
A souq on the lines of the famous Souq Wakif near Doha's Corniche is being developed at the Wakrah beach, which is already a popular spot for retreat for residents. |
Comprising mostly earthen structures however, they are vulnerable to decay and inadequate site drainage and, in the case of the souq, are vulnerable to reconstruction in modern materials. |
It is a bit shabby souq as compared to the renowned souqs of Dubai, but it does certainly make for an interesting stroll. |
The location of the souq placed it within easy surveillance from the fort on its rocky outcrop nearby. |
