    Very nice open market with vintage designs and air-conditioned corridors. Some areas are completely closed ceiling and you can feel the breeze but other areas are semi open with shades and you can feel the hot and humid weather. There are some shops open with the majority of the crowd in Shiwatir sweet market located at the end of the main corridor. Its worth the visit and the best time to visit is wintertime.

    Souq Al Baraha is a traditional Souq (marketplace) that delivers a wonderful experience for visitors within a comfortable, temperature-controlled environment that provides high-level amenities and facilities. The Souq is located in the heart of the kingdom’s newest, trendiest shopping and entertainment district and on the doorstep of the largest shopping mall in Bahrain. Numerous shops are lined along the Souq’s alleyways with all manner of goods both practical and fantastical. From traditional garments to spices to handicrafts, as well as perfumes and incense and sweets. There are nice traditional restaurants and cafes available and would be a good choice to visit and enjoy this experience.

    Souq Al Baraha represents the traditional old markets. It is a beautiful and visually pleasing place. The market is open-air, so it's best to visit during the winter. It has many shops, including clothing, sweets, a bookstore, accessories, and more. Parking is available. The place is beautiful, clean, and very well-organized. I highly recommend visiting it.

    Nice during good weather, they do have outdoor AC systems installed but I doubt they would be helpful during summer months, might help a little I guess. Nice local shops but I hated the fact that there was a starxxx cafe there so try to avoid it! Loved the mosque simple and neat. Great for families.

    If you're seeking an authentic taste of Bahraini tradition within a modernized setting, look no further than Souq Al Baraha. Nestled in a shopping mall, this vibrant marketplace offers a glimpse into Bahrain's rich culture through its small shops brimming with traditional clothes, delectable foods, and unique decorative items. Walking through the souq, you'll find yourself immersed in a tapestry of colors and scents, with each shop offering its own distinct treasures. From intricately embroidered garments to aromatic spices and savory delicacies, there's something to delight every sense. Additionally, the selection of gold and silver jewelry was exquisite, showcasing the craftsmanship and heritage of Bahraini artisans but limited as there was few shops were open. One aspect to note is that not all shops may be open during your visit, but this only adds to the allure of Souq Al Baraha, as it encourages exploration and discovery. Whether you wander through the covered areas cooled by air conditioners or venture into the open-air sections, each corner reveals a new treasure waiting to be unearthed. Overall, visiting Souq Al Baraha was a delightful experience, offering a refreshing escape from the city center hustle and bustle.

    Quite a nice place. It's like an Open Market but also has Air Conditioning. Plenty of stores varying from perfumes, carpets, cafes, jewellery, clothing etc. Also has lot of parking space with 24hr convenient store. Got Masjids as well. Nice place to come even for walking.

    A Bahrain visitor should definitely visit this place even though it is not fully operational now. Keep in mind that this Souq is about 5 min away from Dragon and Thai marts. It has now mainly cafes and sweet shops and a grocery store. Few other shops like perfumes and sented wood (oud and whatnot). The internal design is distinctive as it tries to mimic the design of historic Bahrain shops and markets. I saw long lines at Shuwaiter Express which sold among othrr things Halwa Saj bread which is offered at 1BD. Not sure if it is worth waiting in thelong line. There is one store that I recommend based on my experience which is Ali Halwanji. Fine Shami ice cream topped off with flavored " Sameed" at prices rounded off to be around 2-4 BD

  • 3/5 Fatma A. 1 year ago on Google
    I loved the place, too bad I visited it in summer and I am sure it will be an amazing tourist attraction when the weather gets better.. there is a playground area and arcade for kids, food trucks, couple of restaurants and good outlets selling amazing traditional Bahrain products.. waiting for more shops to open there 😃 too bad the line for Shwaiter Delights was long to try their trendy Regag with Halwa!

  • 5/5 Marife V. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful Souq with plenty of parking spaces. You can enjoy Supermarket, Meat Market, Vegetables and Fruit Market all in one roof. The Souq also has a variety of coffee shops, small restaurants ( crepes, Burgers, fries, Ice Cream) ,
