Bahrain (or Bahraini) Financial Centre
Explanation:

I think that the Bahrain Financial Harbour and the Bahraini/Bahrain Financial Centre are two different things, and that this is not referring to Bahrain Financial Harbour, but is more correctly translated as "Bahrain Financial Centre."

"75% of the Development of the Bahrain Financial Centre Completed

June 27, 2006: Bahrain Financial Harbour (BFH) today announced that the development of the First Phase of the Bahrain Financial Centre is progressing ahead of schedule and by the end of May 2006, 75 per cent of the construction of the Financial Centre has been completed."


Also note how often the exact phrase, "Bahrain Financial HARBOUR," in Arabic, which is spelled differently than this phrase, appears on the Internet. This also leads me to believe that
مجمع البحرين المالي
is not referring to Bahrain Financial Harbour.

Also, the adjective is spelled "Bahraini" in English, not "Bahrani." Probably just a typo. :)
