 Among
Bahrain's cities and towns are:
Bahrain's many small towns and villages include:
AL BUDAY'A
 Al
Budaiya is a coastal town located in the Northern Governorate of
the Kindgdom of Bahrain. With the closely connected Junaibiya and
Saar towns, it is the most fertile area in this desert and is the
location of most growing farms, traditional family farms/resorts
(nakhal), and animal stables. It is also home to the Rugby Club,
Dilmun Club, Budaiya Beach, Najibi Centre ("Spinneys"),
and most of the island's residential compounds.
The biggest problem Budaiya is
facing is deforestation due to construction, and the seeping of
sea water into natural underground fresh water reserves as a result
of the pre-construction building process of the Mina Salman seaport
in the 1950's.
The Budaiya Road connecting it
to Manama is still remembered as one of the only "naturally
shaded" parts of Bahrain where thousands of wild palm trees
acted as filters from the hot, glaring desert sun. Most of the trees
were cut down to expand the route and 'modernize' the area.
Today it houses expatriates
living in the kingdom and has few places that serve as a niche to
the youth Bahraini subcultures (Goth, skater/punk, etc.)
