In the bustling Muharraq Souq, Maison Jamsheer proves to be a quiet and calm haven. Tucked behind the central mosque, and at walking distance from Shaikh Ebrahim Centre, Maison Jamsheer was the house of the Jamsheer family and through the collaboration of Shaikh Ebrahim Centre and the Alliance Francaise, the house and its memories have been perfectly preserved in time. With simple design architecture, bright blue windows and spacious roof, Maison Jamsheer is the epitome of early Bahraini-living and continues to use its charm when the venue is used for dinners, celebrations, corporate and private events.
