About Cultural Link Toeram-piasana Iombonana

Cultural Link dia toeram-piasana iombonana natao ho an'ny arsitekta sy mpanamboatra tranomboly ao Manama, Bahrain. Ity trano lehibe misy velaran-tany 888 metatra toradroa ity dia mampitambatra ireo fitsipika famolavolana nentin-drazana Bahreiniana amin'ny fanaka sy asa zavakanto maoderina. Trano samihafa no manavaka ny biraon'olontsotra, ny faritra fiaraha-miasa, ny toeram-pisotroan-kafe ary ny tranombokim-pitaovana. Varavarankely lehibe no mampifandray ireo faritra iombonana, ary fitaovana mahaleo feo kosa manohana ny fiasana am-pilaminana. Fitaovana avy eo an-toerana toy ny vatosokay, tanimanga ary hazo palma no ampiasaina, mba hanajana ny asa tanan-drazana ary hanohanana ny fandrindram-piainana maharitra.
