Ship Building
A fitting trade for an island nation,
shipbuilding came to rise in line with
the enormous pearl diving trade that
once existed in Bahrain spurred by the
development of the regions leading
maritime trade hub. Bahrain has long been
known for its expertise in shipbuilding, more
specifically Dhows. You can get a glimpse,
and if you’re lucky a tour around some Dhow
building at the Muharraq Fisherman’s port.
These iconic boats can be found throughout
the region with much of the resources
needed for building materials coming from
our friends across the water in India.
The Hurafuna Festival was such a
success last year; it ensured it became a
regular on the Bahrain events calendar! So
make sure you stop by and explore all they
have to offer and support the vibrant, rich
culture that Bahrain has to offer. The festival
was located at the Bab Al Bahrain from
April 12th to 18th, 2017.
