The “Al-Awali” exhibition at the Bahrain National Museum documents the city’s founding and development as oil exploration got underway. Construction began on 4 April 1934, and the city expanded as the oil industry grew. On 28 April 1938, Bahrain’s ruler, Sheikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, officially adopted the name “Al-Awali,” meaning “the heights,” in place of the names then in use. Archival documents and photographs show the city’s layout, streets and stages of growth, presenting it as the region’s first fully integrated model city.
