"Pearling Path" is one of these projects is located in the old part of Al-Muharraq city in Bahrain. This project faces an environmental challenge, the Urban Heat Island (UHI). Planners & developers in Bahrain recommended controlling the reasons of the UHI in such an area to improve this touristic project. This study investigates the effects of UHI in Pearling Path, which goes across different locations with different urban fabrics. The study methodology used the theoretical approach by the literature review on urban heat islands and assumptions regarding the causes and remedies to this problem, followed by the analytical stage by doing the mapping urban heat islands using remote sensing data which are conducted at the "Pearling Path" locations in Muharraq Island, in Bahrain. Moreover, the study is concluded using remote sensing data which is used to identify the spots showing significant symptoms of UHI. At the end of the study, the final analyses of results reveal that there are several spots of UHI, which have varying in intensity impacts.
