Hoora, Mixed residential and commercial district in Capital Governorate, Bahrain

Hoora is a mixed residential and commercial district in Bahrain's capital featuring several tall apartment buildings alongside shops and offices. Modern streets and walking paths connect these buildings and create spaces where people move easily between work, home, and shopping areas.

Hoora grew as a district of Manama, and much of its architecture is in the traditional Gulf style dating to the early 20th century. Exhibition Avenue takes its name from the makeshift tents set up for exhibition conventions there in the late 1970s. In the 2010s local media reported court cases against groups running illegal prostitution and drug racketeering on the avenue, and in 2016 some hotels there refused rooms to single women.

The name Hoora comes from Huriya, a woman said to have been killed at a palm tree there, afterwards called Nakhl Huriya; the Arabic word also means "free woman" or "nymph". Today the district's cultural draw is Beit Al Quran, holding one of the world's leading collections of Islamic manuscripts and art, and the La Fontaine Contemporary Arts Centre.

Exhibition Avenue is the district's main road, busy in the evenings and especially at weekends with tourists, residents and foreigners. Beit Al Quran and the La Fontaine Contemporary Arts Centre are the main sights, and the Abu Bakr Siddeeq mosque stands beside the Hoora Police Station on the avenue.

The name Hoora comes from a woman called Huriya, meaning "free woman" or "nymph" in Arabic, who was killed in the area; the palm tree where she died, Bagh Seedo, was renamed Nakhl Huriya in her memory.
