Fareej el-Hammam (Arabic: فريج الحمام, Fareej el-Hammam), also called Fareej el-Khawaja after a prominent family, is an old district close to the Manama Souq in the heart of Manama, in the Kingdom of Bahrain. It is adjacent to Fareej el-Makharqa.[1] Along with the other districts of the souq, it formed the core districts of Manama prior to the expansion of the city in the 20th century.
