Pearling, Testimony of an Island Economy is the 2nd
Unesco World Heritage site of Bahrain.
The site consists of seventeen buildings in Muharraq
City, three offshore oyster beds, part of the seashore and the Qal’at Bu Mahir
fortress on the southern tip of Muharraq Island, from where boats used to set
off for the oyster beds. Muharraq Island is the second largest island
in the archipelago of Bahrain.
The building you see on the postcard is the windtower (or
wind catcher) of Isa bin Ali House, residence of the former ruler of Bahrain.
