The Bahrain World Trade Center is one of the country’s most recognisable landmarks and a defining feature of its skyline. The complex is open to the public, where you can admire its striking architecture, explore the popular MODA Mall, or dine in its restaurants. The twin towers are connected by three skybridges, each fitted with a wind turbine, an innovative feature that harnesses the strong Gulf winds. On breezy days, you can often see them turning. Frequently featured on postcards and travel guides, this building has become a modern symbol of Bahrain.

Bubbly Pool, formed by waves crashing against the rocks, is only a short walk away to the north.
