Hamad Town

About

Hamad Town has a heart-warming history of welcoming immigrants to its community, ever since being established in 1984 as a ‘housing town’ for those unable to afford skyrocketing prices in other parts of the country. In 1990, during the Gulf War, Bahrain opened its doors to Kuwaitis seeking refuge from the conflict. The result has been cultural diversity in a lively town, also renowned for its twenty-two roundabouts. Such is the significance of them that the number of the nearest roundabout is often incorporated into residential addresses. Visit the old marketplace known as Souq Waqif, where merchants would stand along the roads and sell their goods to passers-by. Today, the bustling market offers an intriguing collection of antiquities, traditional garments and unique souvenirs. Motorsport enthusiasts will find delight in the proximity of the Bahrain International Circuit, a world-famous Formula One race track located in Sakhir, just a short drive from Hamad Town. Hamad Town is not only a residential hub but also a destination that offers a glimpse into Bahrain's cultural heritage and provides exciting experiences for both residents and visitors alike.
