Seef district, Manama

Bahrain's most expensive metre. Still a bargain.

Seef is Bahrain's premium address: the malls, the towers, the corporate offices. At BD 444 per square metre it is the most expensive district in the country - and it still costs a fraction of a comparable address in Dubai or Doha.

Official transaction data

Seef by the numbers.

From 1,620 official transactions: the average Seef purchase is BD 127,000 at BD 444 per square metre, the highest in Bahrain. Prices have appreciated 34 percent over six years - around 5 percent annually, steady and held by long-term owners.

The surprise is the rental side. Seef units command BD 769 average monthly rents, the strongest in the country, which pushes gross yields above 6 percent - premium address and premium income at the same time, which almost never happens in the same postcode.
