Among all the mixed-use communities that are being developed currently in Bahrain, Diyar Al Muharraq mega project outstands the most. A coalition of 8 artificial islands developed in the northern east corner of the Bahraini Kingdom, Diyar Al Muharraq is located only 10 kilometers away from the capital Manama. With an area that spans more than 12 square kilometers, the man-made islands became home to many ambitious developments; and Marassi Al Bahrain comes as one of the most prominent of these projects.

 

Marassi Al Bahrain’s Location and Area:

Developed by Eagle Hills Diyar, Marassi Al Bahrain takes almost three quarters of the entire area of Diyar Al Muharraq; sprawling over more than 875,000 square meters near the most vital highways in Diyar Al Muharraq, Marassi Al Bahrain is expected to provide homes to around 22,000 people.

 

The development will contain around 6,000 residential units, distributed among low- and mid-rise buildings and 250,000 square meters of retail area. The destination also offers a stunning waterfront promenade as its coastline spans two kilometers of stunning beaches.
