Siyadi House, Muharraq, Bahrain
Siyadi House or Bayt Siyadi, built in 1931 for the pearl merchant Abdullah bin Isa Siyadi, and still a private residence, on the Pearling Path in Muharraq, Bahrain. As part of the Siyadi complex, a mosque was built under Isa and Jassim bin Ahmad Siyadi and was completed in 1865 and rebuilt in 1910. A majlis or meeting hall was also built here in 1850 and extended in 1921. Muharraq is a city on the Pearling Path and with a strong history of pearl diving and pearl trade, where 17 buildings form part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrating the pearl trade.
