Two of the 18 public squares and a bridge that make up the Bahrain Pearl Path’s path have already been finished. Along the “Pearl Trail,” a Unesco World Heritage Site, there are numerous small public squares that are finished and furnished in polished concrete and cooled by pipes. These will offer visitors and residents of the old pearl city periodic microclimates, points of relief, and social gathering spots.
