Shia Muslim population. The Island has many villages, none of them
is called Sitrah.
Wadiyan is the central village

as the North Sitra Industrial Area. Many large factories like Gulf
Aluminium Rolling Mills Company (GARMCO) are located in this region.
The Bahrain Petroleum Company (Bapco Bahrain) has large oil storage
tank structures in Sitra. The other half of Sitra is a bustling
residential area. Sitra has recently seen great improvements.
