Diplomatic Area
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Diplomatic Area (Arabic: المنطقة الدبلوماسية; transliterated: al-Mantiqah ad-Diblomasiyah) is a place in Manama, the capital city of Bahrain, an island kingdom in Persian Gulf.
The Diplomatic Area is Manama's financial district, housing hundreds of banks, investment firms and Takaful societies that serve the entire Persian Gulf. It is mainly composed of office blocks and government buildings.
Most of the government ministries like the Ministry of Industry & Commerce, Ministry of Works & Housing and the Ministry of Justice have their offices in the Diplomatic Area. The Central Bank of Bahrain is also head-quartered in the Diplomatic Area and has a museum which houses a splendid collection of currency and coins dating back to 653 AD.
The Diplomatic Area also houses the Public Prosecution and the court of Bahrain.
