01 · OverviewAl Ḩadd, in brief
Al Ḩadd is a town situated in Bahrain on a sand spit on the southeastern extremity of Muharraq Island. Administered under the Muharraq Governorate, the settlement records a population of 12797 residents and operates within the Asia/Bahrain timezone.
Before the oil era
Historically, the inhabitants of Hidd relied on the sea for survival. Long before the discovery of oil in Bahrain, local livelihoods centered entirely around the fishing and pearl diving industries. Clear blue seas and rich sea crabs characterized the coastal environment of the town, shaping a distinct maritime culture that endures through traditional fijiri performance groups based locally.
A conservative landscape
Considered a very religiously and culturally conservative area of Bahrain, the municipality preserves much of its historical architectural fabric. Many of the town's firjan, or neighborhoods, are composed of old buildings standing in contrast to modern developments nearby, such as the public housing project under construction in East Hidd City.
Infrastructure and modern industry
A historical turning point arrived with the expansion of heavy industry and vital utilities onto newly reclaimed land. To the south of the town, the Hidd Industrial Area now hosts a large power plant, a drydock known as the Arab Shipbuilding and Repair Yard or ASRY, and a water desalination plant that supplies 75% of Bahrain's clean water requirements. Geographically positioned at latitude 26.24556 and longitude 50.65417, the town connects to Juffair on Bahrain Island via the Shaikh Khalifa Causeway, lying just south of the Bahrain International Airport and the town of Arad.
