Upcoming Projects in Muttrah
The Muttrah Square Project is set to begin in the third quarter of this year. This project will feature an iconic arch-shaped bridge over the square by the sea, which won the first edition of the Bilarab bin Haitham Award for Architectural Design. Inspired by the sword of Imam al Salt bin Malik al Kharusi, the structure will provide views of Muttrah’s landmarks and include a mixed-use plaza, a dancing fountain, retail stores, and cafés.

To address traffic congestion, a tender has been issued for the construction of a multi-storey car park in Muttrah.
