Manama’s origins began on the northern coastline of Bahrain in the Bronze Age. The Dilmun civilization inhabited the area in 3000 BC, serving as a key regional trading hub between Mesopotamia, Magan and the Indus Valley civilization. After Portugal and Persian authorities left the region, Manama became the capital of independent Bahrain. Today, it is a modern capital with an economy based around the sales promotion industry, as crude oil takes a less prominent role in the economy. In Manama, you can find many examples of modern architecture and delightful traditional structures. Zamil Tower is an outstanding example of the blending of modernism and traditionalism.
