The Bahrain World Trade Center, also known as the BWTC Twin Towers, is an iconic twin-tower complex in Manama, the capital of Bahrain. Its address is Sanabis, Manama 428, and it stands as one of the most recognisable architectural landmarks in the city.
What makes the towers distinctive
The complex is best known for its integrated wind turbines. It is the first building in the world to incorporate large-scale wind turbines into its design, so the towers are not only a striking silhouette on the Manama skyline but also a working example of how a building can be shaped around renewable energy. Visitors interested in architecture and sustainable design will find the idea worth seeing up close.

Around the towers
The towers form part of the wider city, so a trip here pairs naturally with exploring Manama itself. Allow time to look at the complex from several angles, since the turbines and the twin form read differently from the street, the waterfront and the surrounding area. Checking ahead by phone is a sensible step, as the facts available here do not include opening arrangements or access details for the complex.
