Bahrain World Trade Center
مركز البحرين التجاري العالمي
Three wind turbines are strung between two 240-meter sail-shaped towers, making this the most recognizable building on Manama's skyline.
The Bahrain World Trade Center opened in 2008. Its two sail-shaped towers stand about 240 meters tall and are linked by three wind turbines, each 29 meters in diameter. It was one of the first skyscrapers in the world to integrate wind power into its design. The towers are office buildings with no observation deck, but you can photograph them from the base or from the Bahrain Bay waterfront. The connected Moda Mall has upscale boutiques. It is a 10-minute walk from Bab Al Bahrain.
