Clock Roundabout Travel Guide

The Clock Roundabout in Riffa stands as a testament to the city's growth and a symbol of Bahrain's modern identity. Completed in 2002, the roundabout features a pre-cast concrete clock tower adorned with a verdigris copper dome, a clock with a chime system, and decorative lighting, making it visually appealing, especially at night.Strategically located at the intersection of Shaikh Salman Highway and Al Riffa Avenue, the roundabout serves as a gateway connecting Riffa to Manama, Hamad Town, Isa Town, and Awali. This central location has made it a key meeting point and a significant landmark for navigation.Currently (July 2025), the Clock Roundabout is undergoing redevelopment into a multi-level junction to ease traffic congestion. Despite the construction, the Clock Roundabout remains an iconic landmark, symbolizing the city's past, present, and future.While there is no dedicated parking directly at the roundabout, visitors can find parking in nearby commercial areas and residential streets. The roundabout also provides access to Riffa's cultural and historical attractions, such as the Riffa Fort and the Riffa Souq.
