Introduction to Riffa, Bahrain
Riffa is the second largest city in the Kingdom of Bahrain, located in the middle of the main island, about 13 kilometers from the capital, Manama. An important cultural and administrative center of Bahrain, Riffa is divided into two parts, East Riffa, which is known for its historical sites and traditional bazaars, and West Riffa, which is known for its modern residential and commercial areas.
Historical and Cultural Landmarks
Riffa is home to one of Bahrain's most famous historical buildings, the Riffa Fort, a 17th century fortress perched on a hill overlooking a panoramic view of the Khul Valley. The city also retains a traditional handicraft market (Souq) and an ancient mosque, showcasing Bahrain's traditional architecture and Islamic cultural heritage.
Modern Development and Life
Today, Riffa is a representative area of Bahrain's urbanized development, with the Royal Golf Club, the International Motor Speedway and large shopping malls. Its excellent healthcare and educational facilities (such as the Arabian Gulf University) have attracted a large number of expatriates, making it a model Middle Eastern city that blends tradition with modernity.
