Morphing With The Past : A'ali

Located in the Kingdom of Bahrain, A’ali is a residential town famous for its traditional handcrafted pottery. Scattered between the tumuli of the Dilmun civilization, which was thriving in the early 2200 BCE, until its shift to the present capital of Manama, the development in A’ali has been slow compared to the island’s coastal fringes. In 2019, A’ali regained attention with the Dilmun Burial Mounds being declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the proposal of the GCC Railway Terminal. Thus, it becomes critical to understand the present town of A’ali as it prepares for the future developments.
