Abstract
A strategic commercial crossroads during Antiquity but also heir to a pearling economic tradition of several centuries, the current Kingdom of Bahrain strives to manage, protect and promote its historic tangible heritage, initially based on numerous archaeological sites covering nearly four millennia and several ancient urban sectors rich in a traditional architecture recognized for its originality and diversity within the Arab Gulf countries and internationally. This mission is a real challenge in the smallest Arab state, with a highly dense population and growing economic expansion. This contribution presents the essential characteristics of this national heritage, the main actors in its management, and the implemented strategy for its enhancement. Like its immediate neighbours, Bahrain aims to become a significant regional cultural hub by cultivating specific “cultural niches” likely to attract a demanding and quality audience.
