The Siyadi complex, created by one of Bahrain’s leading grand pearl merchant families (Tujjar Al Lulu), consists of three interrelated buildings: Siyadi House, a family residence built by Abdullah bin Isa Siyadi; Siyadi Majlis, a second family residence with an impressive guest room built by Ahmad bin Jassim Siyadi; and Siyadi Mosque, donated to the community by Isa and Jassim bin Ahmad Siyadi.
The Siyadi’s settled in Muharraq in the early 19th century. As grand pearl merchants, the family owned its own pearling fleet and was guaranteed of its annual pearl catch. The immense wealth generated from pearls allowed the family to build the Siyadi complex.
Siyadi House, which dates to 1931 and is still occupied by the builder’s grandson, completes the complex and illustrates the wealth of a grand pearl merchant, even as the pearling economy declined.
