The antique auction at the Hawa Al Manama Festival, organized in collaboration with Bahrain Auction, sparked excitement and intense bidding at Qasr Al Sharq Hotel, reflecting strong interest from visitors and collectors.
Citizens, GCC visitors, and official figures attended one of the festival’s most engaging events.
Participants were required to pay a BD25 deposit, ensuring serious bidding and smooth proceedings.
Among the highlights, the old map of Manama featured in the “Marbopol” game drew attention.
Sarah Bouhaji, CEO of the Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority (BTEA), purchased the limited-edition historical map for BD55, noting its documentation of hotels and institutions from old Manama.
MP Mohammed Janahi also participated, acquiring a vintage Casio watch for BD20. The auction reached its peak excitement during the bidding for an old Zamzam water container from the Holy Mosque in Mecca.
