All the manual skilled trades were represented in Awali, as were doctors, dentists, nurses, secretaries, accountants and schoolteachers. From as early as the late Forties, all the homes and offices within Awali were fully centralized air conditioned and it was a magical place to spend formative years. The discovery of oil in Bahrain bought with it many skilled foreign workers, necessitating the construction of a whole new town to house the workers and their families. The establishment of Awali heralded another first for Bahrain; a purpose built compound, with centralized air conditioned housing and leisure facilities plus hot and cold running water. Luxury household items and food began to appear bringing a standard of living, hitherto, unknown to the island. The designers of the oil company community of Awali made it one of the first centrally air conditioned cities ever built, to the everlasting gratitude of the people who work there.
