Siyadi House

Siyadi House, Pearl merchant residence in Al-Muharraq, Bahrain

Siyadi House is the largest building of the Siyadi complex in Muharraq, a 450-square-metre residence dated to 1931 and built under Ahmad bin Jassim Siyadi. It is the last construction of the complex, which also holds the Siyadi Mosque (1865) and the Siyadi Majlis (1850, upper rooms 1921). The house remains a private residence, inhabited by Abdallah bin Hassan Siyadi, grandson of builder Abdallah bin Isa Siyadi.

The Siyadi House was built in 1931 under Ahmad bin Jassim Siyadi, not Abdullah bin Isa Siyadi, as part of a family complex. The Siyadi Mosque, donated by Isa and Jassim bin Yousif Siyadi in 1865, is the oldest preserved mosque in Muharraq, while the Siyadi Majlis was begun by Jassim bin Yousif Siyadi in 1850 and its upper floor added in 1921.

The Siyadi family settled near the rulers' houses in the Sh. Abdallah neighbourhood after arriving in Bahrain in the early 19th century, and their wealth came from the pearl trade that prospered in Muharraq in that century. The Siyadi Majlis, whose interior room is worth seeing, is now under the responsibility of Bahrain's Ministry of Culture.

The building is a private residence and therefore not accessible to visitors. It remains occupied by descendants of the original family and can only be viewed from outside.

The Siyadi complex's oldest element is the Siyadi Mosque, donated to Muharraq's community in 1865; the preserved structure dates to 1910 according to Yarwood, and it is still used for daily prayers. The house itself, the last construction, dates to 1931 and covers 450 square metres.
