Beautification of Al Farooq Interchange, Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain By: John Arthur Davies Some months ago, having occasion after a long absence to pass through the Al Farooq Interchange it was very pleasing to see landscape improvements taking place. Discussing the project with Engineer Shaikh Mohammed Al Khalifa, Undersecretary for Municipalities Affairs, I tabled questions and commented as follows: The landscaping recently implemented at the Al Farooq Interchange is appealing, could you please elaborate? The landscaping of the Al Farook Interchange, which covers 92,000 square metres, represents a green lung in the heart of Manama, the capital city of Bahrain, and is part of a programme reflecting the

Ministry of Works, Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning’s commitment to beautification. This focusing on the enhanced greening of streets, open spaces and highway interchanges, as well as public gardens throughout the Kingdom of Bahrain. The project commenced on the 25th September, 2019 and was completed on the 31st January 2021.
