Al Hidd is a city on a peninsula at the southeastern end of Muharraq Island in Bahrain. Originally a small fishing settlement, Al Hidd has developed into a major industrial and residential area. The city has grown considerably due to extensive land reclamation projects. It hosts the Bahrain International Investment Park (BIIP) and the Arab Shipbuilding and Repair Yard (ASRY), one of the largest shipyards in the region, making it a vital economic hub. The old quarter of Al Hidd still retains its traditional charm with older houses and a strong community bond. The city is connected directly to Manama by a modern bridge, improving accessibility. The Al Hidd Waterfront Park is a popular spot for families, offering beautiful views of the Manama skyline.
