"This was a challenging assignment in which all our skills were tested," he said.

"We are now looking forward to our next assignment for the Housing Ministry, which will begin soon," he added.

Al Zayani said the company had done an excellent job and created a beautiful landmark in Bahrain.

"The new iconic landmark in Bahrain's already impressive skyline has a very unique design. Its imposing feature stands out as a welcome to any visitor to the country," he added.
