Bahrain’s Pearling Path: a surprising, stunning gem of urban architecture

A winding two-mile walk is a glorious example of how careful design can enhance everyday life.
Bahrain’s Pearling Path is not quite like anything I’ve seen before. It is a landmark cultural project in the Gulf that privileges carefulness and thoughtfulness over spectacle. It is a project in which the streetlamps and the benches built for the local community are as beautifully considered as the museums, historic restorations and concert venues. It is, in short, a wonderful surprise.
