Sanabis is a village on the northern outskirts of Manama, the capital of Bahrain. Originally a separate village, it is now fully integrated into the metropolitan area, bordering the modern Bahrain Financial Harbour and the Seef district. Sanabis has undergone a remarkable transformation from a traditional fishing and farming village to a bustling urban center. It is now home to the Bahrain International Exhibition & Convention Centre, making it an important venue for trade and events. The area is a mix of old, traditional houses and modern residential and commercial buildings. Despite the rapid development, Sanabis maintains a strong sense of community. Its location in close proximity to Manama's main shopping malls, banks, and entertainment options makes it an attractive place to live.
