This is what is seemed bahrain iceberg. initially was proposed in muharraq coast facing Manama, but they changed it to Zallaq I guess..i am not sure exactly but it is very big project that will staff 3000 people

Am not sure if the thread i made about it still exists, it's been quite now for over a year, have no idea if this project will go ahead. We've been hearing about it from time to time just to remind us, but I haven't seen anythin new. They've said plans are finalized but that again was over a year ago. Cost is $175 million (figures change for some reason so this might go up).

I'll try and post a past article about this project.

i have an imaginery photo of the iceberg but donno how to upload it here!!

casanova, open an account in www.imagestation.com, upload the photo there and get it's url and paste it here with the tags.

I've seen a few but they looked like artistic paintings more than anythin else.

i can't see anything in this pic :(

Casanova, when you upload the pic, go to the album you uploaded the pic in, click on the pic and then right click and go to properties at that time and copy the url, you should be able to display the pic then :).

Here you go, the Bahraini Iceberg....

I haven't seen this pic, I've seen others but they weren't that good. Now is this thing goin to happen or what? Been takin forever to hear anythin about it.

looks strange
what will be in there? office, theatres,...?

Well before the mentioned somethin about it being 180 m or soand it should have a marina, musuem, hotel and some other outlets, but I have no idea whats up with this project now.

it has suddenly come into my mind that we have a thread for an "iceberg tower" in this particular forum, sunk down to the end actually

Ya am not sure who made it but I've seen it somewhere hehe. Same happened with a few other projects lol.

This was supposed to be a tower with 5 and 4 star hotel, mainly hosting a long skating circuit. I don't know if they have aborted the project or they only delayed it for furhter feasiblity study. the fact that this picture is current and a bit new (published 2004) gives me hope that the project may become a reality.

Yeah, it look very much uncommon, man this is the best thing i have ever seen in my life, with some more amendments and additions this one will truely make Bahrain ahead of others. but i rathar seeing it in Manama off shore of the Seef district where it will enhance the capital's already high profile planned projectooos..

noooooo.. looks really bad..

More pics moody of this one? This project, they only announced it and were quiet about it for 2 years, typical of the old days.

Got this pic from a German Site.

No more pics nor news,

noooooo.. looks really bad..
Be Fair............... :bleh:

Well it's supposed to be developed by Reyada (somethin like that) and a German company, but am not sure if this will ever happen. It was proposed durin the time where Bahrain wasn't that serious if you get what I mean.

Got you,

But those days are gone and don't exist any more. the tune in bahrain now has changed dramaticly and projects are announced even after lying foundation!!!

What is this thing anyways?
Is it just a vision of something or a fully designed project?

I believe its a project that was proposed a few years ago, seemed to be going ahead, although with very little known about it, but then sort of just disappeared , and for a long time theres been nothing, no news about it...Its mainly an indoor skiing resort...though i think it might be a bit more than just that.....right guys?

You are correct man,

Well have to wait and see what will happen with this one. But isn't it cool?

right, what i heared the project is on hold because the investor is kinda unstaisfied with the area they have chosen for the project, espacially it's an empty area. (that's what i heared it might be wrong)

i heard things about this project too....but the version i know involves certain "disagreements" with the investors and a certain political figure...anyway i best not discuss such things here as they may only be rumors.

:dj:

yeah, Zallaq wouldn't be the perfect place for such good looking project, they'd better shift it to Manama where it will be visible

Hey can you PM (private message) me about this rumour, I dunno I have someone on mind that could possibly be the one you heard about in the rumour.

Oh and ya about the location, they want to make that part of Bahrain the sports hub of some sort (this if it ever happens, BIC, the horse racetrack (will go for a major $1.7 billion development ($500 million for the horsetrack itself (with betting I read)), the gold course with a proposed expansion). The only thing missing is a huge sports city with a new football stadium, we really need one.

Yeah, it'd be nice to have another big national stadium...

Don't forget the fact this one is a private investment, not part of government agenda as BIC was/is.
