The Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning and Eskan Bank will organise the 11th edition of the "Mobile Housing Finance Branch" initiative from Wednesday, 11 November, to Sunday, 15 November 2026, at Marassi Galleria Mall in Muharraq Governorate, near Gate 2, from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The initiative aims to showcase housing programmes and financing options available to citizens and provide specialised consultations on available housing solutions.
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning affirmed that organising the 11th edition of the initiative reflects its continued efforts, in cooperation with Eskan Bank, to strengthen direct communication channels with citizens and facilitate their access to housing and financing information and services. This includes introducing the latest developments in financing programmes, housing options and digital services, while clarifying the eligibility requirements and criteria, thereby facilitating access to housing services.
The Ministry explained that the mobile branch will provide citizens with specialised consultations on the "Tumouh" programme, which enables eligible beneficiaries who have previously obtained "Tasheel" and "Tasheel+" financing, as well as previous beneficiaries of home purchase financing for the purpose of owning a residential apartment, to obtain additional government-subsidised financing, subject to the approved terms and eligibility criteria. The initiative will also introduce the "Tasheel", "Tasheel+" and "Mazaya" programmes, including the newly introduced category under the "Mazaya" programme.
The Ministry added that its representatives and those of Eskan Bank will explain how citizens can benefit from the financing programmes and respond to enquiries regarding eligibility requirements, procedures, financing amounts and repayment periods. They will also showcase available real estate options compatible with these programmes, helping citizens identify housing solutions that suit their needs and financial capabilities.
The Ministry noted that the mobile branch will also highlight residential projects implemented under the Government Land Development Rights Programme in partnership with the private sector. These projects offer a diverse range of housing units and real estate options compatible with housing financing programmes, contributing to expanding the housing choices available to citizens.
The mobile branch will also introduce citizens to the advanced digital services offered by the "Bayti" real estate platform, which, according to the latest published data, features approximately 14,610 properties, including land plots, villas and residential apartments across the Kingdom of Bahrain's governorates. The platform's services include searching for and browsing properties, electronically reserving residential properties, tracking financing applications, and accessing digital property valuation services involving 33 accredited real estate valuers. It also provides direct integration with banks and enables users to monitor the construction progress of housing units under the Government Land Development Rights Programme, helping simplify procedures and accelerate citizens' access to suitable housing solutions.
Since its launch, the "Mobile Housing Finance Branch" initiative has been held at several shopping malls and key locations across the Kingdom of Bahrain, including Ramli Mall, Country Mall, The Avenues, City Centre Bahrain, Enma Mall, Marassi Galleria and Seef Mall, in addition to participating in Youth City 2030 activities. These efforts reflect the commitment of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning and Eskan Bank to expanding outreach to citizens and raising awareness of available housing and financing programmes and services.
