Reading the other day about the proposed seaside marketplace (‘Productive families step closer to permanent seaside market’; GDN, November 8) filled me instantly with nostalgic images and historical records in the museums in Bahrain.
These displays have always fascinated me with the scenes from the ancient history of Bahrain’s forts as trade points with an array of goods, people buying, selling or carrying goods, dhows anchored to be loaded or unloaded, a camel, a horse or a donkey standing in wait to be loaded, and bargains in process over goods, commodities or services .
