Viewpoints YATEEM
I come here quite often actually, it’s where I can get all those odd bits and pieces for the house, that I never know where to find! Namitha I love this place, it is such a gem! You find really quirky, ‘different’ stuff, and I love having a good rummage around. It’s such a change from the generic stuff in bigger stores. Helen
You can get everything here, from a Rolex to a healthy mushroom powders from the health shop. You can’t say that about many places… I only found it last year after being in Bahrain for 6 years, it’s quite tucked away. Ebrahim
I came here today because I needed more traditional clothes, I am on a budget and sometimes can’t face the hassle of the souq, so the Yateem Centre is a good alternative - the shops here are really affordable. Aqueela
What Makes Us Different?
This is one of the few places I don’t mind accompanying my wife when she goes shopping. I know she isn’t going to be here all day and I can play games online with my friends while I wait. Usman I like the fact that I can get my shoes mended or my bag fixed and relax with a coffee while it’s being done. I find it a hassle going to a shop on the street, as I never know what to do with myself while I wait, and usually end up hot and bothered. Mariam
I come here because it takes me back to my teenage years, it was the place to be! Where else would you find Bob Marley posters in Bahrain? Basel
I like the range of unique products, you can find designs that you don’t get anywhere else. Rose Mary
I don’t know where else I could go to get quality ballet kit for my daughter. Anne
