The Revitalisation of Muharraq, a series of restoration and reuse projects that highlight the World Heritage site's pearling history, was recently celebrated at a ceremony under the presence and patronage of His Excelency Sheikh Khaled Bin Abdulla Al Khalifa, Deputy Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Bahrain and Farrokh Derakhshani, Director of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture. The project evolved into a comprehensive programme that aimed to re-balance the city's demographic makeup by creating public spaces, providing community and cultural venues, and improving the overall environment.
