Skip unless you just want to visit some slums in Bahrain. Most store fronts are closed and the whole neighborhood is inhabited by South Asian people (the workers of Bahrain), so the only places open are Indian, Bangladeshi or Pakistani stores. Nothing about Bahrain. They also have a walk tour marked by lamp posts (supposedly following the pearl route) but every stop on the walk is closed and half of them do not even have signs. I crossed real slums following this path across the souq, terrible.
