Bahrain Financial Harbour (BFH) is a modern waterfront commercial development project located on the northern shore of Manama, the capital city of Bahrain. Costing $1.5 billion, the two main Harbour Towers were officially opened in May 2007 and have since become iconic symbols of Bahrain's skyline. BFH is a key landmark representing Bahrain's economic aspirations and its role as a leading financial hub in the Middle East.
The Harbour Towers, East and West, stand tall at 260 meters with 53 floors each. These twin skyscrapers are interconnected by a 25-meter-high sky bridge, offering panoramic views of the city and the Arabian Gulf. The towers primarily house corporate offices, while the lower levels offer cafes and shopping areas accessible to the public.
Beyond the towers, BFH includes Harbour Gate, a six-story building housing the Bahrain Stock Exchange and various investment firms. Harbour Heights Towers offer luxury apartments, villas, and penthouses. Harbour Row provides a vibrant retail and dining destination. BFH is strategically located adjacent to the King Faisal Highway, linking Manama to Saudi Arabia via the King Fahd Causeway.
