Skyscrapers Built Overnight in Bahrain



It appears that pioneering initiatives led by the Bahraini Government to protect its private sector workforce, including the implementation of new working hour regulations and promoting the responsible safeguards that one would expect to see in a country that boasts a "Business Friendly" mantra have had limited effect. This video shot by me near Bahrain's Exhibition Road demonstrates that the national capital Manama is truly a city that never sleeps.

And how can it, when construction workers are forced to work late into the evening in order to finish a project in record time?

It is certainly easier to understand how skyscrapers are literally "built overnight" by the labor of exploited workers.
