Bahrain's cities and towns are:
Bahrain's many small towns and villages include:
AL JUFAIR
Juffair is in Manama, Bahrain
and is a more recent development after 1970 in Bahrain. The majority
of this part of Bahrain was the sea. Thanks to land reclamation,
it is now home to many hotels and some restaurants, flats and villas.
In fact, Juffair is built on a massive land reclamation scheme which
has extended Bahrain's coastline two kilometres to the east.
The area is the site of frenetic
building activity, with new apartment buildings and hotels constructed
each year. Most of those who live in the area are established foreigners
or upwardly mobile young Bahrainis. It is also the site of Bahrain's
largest mosque, the huge domed Al Fateh Mosque, and houses the new
national library which is due to open later in 2006.
Juffair's is in close proximity
to Diplomat Area, Muharraq and Adliya makes it a centre point. All
Bahrain road calculations are made from the Grand Mosque - Zero
Point.
The offices of the Ministry
of Islamic Affairs, Central Informatics Organization, Bahrain Society
of Engineers, and the Bahrain Tribune newspaper are all located
in Juffair
