SHOPPING in Manama in 1957


The caption reads "Manama Bazaar Bahrain 57" so that about sums it up. Not a franchise to be seen.

  1. Manama is the capital (and largest) city of Bahrain. The bazaar (souk) is still there.

    1. Well that makes it sound enticing. I guess the closest I've ever come to something like that is what shopping used to be like in certain parts of Tijuana.

  2. I don't know about that. I think I see The Gap and isn't that Banana Republic at the end of the lane?

    1. I'm guessing there was no Disney store.
