Amwaj Islands, Artificial islands in Muharraq Governorate, Bahrain.
The Amwaj Islands extend over 4.31 square kilometers of reclaimed land from the Persian Gulf, featuring residential complexes and a marina with 140 berths.
The development began in 2000 as a pioneering project offering complete freehold land ownership to expatriates living in Bahrain, with an investment of 1.5 billion dollars.
The islands integrate Middle Eastern architectural elements with modern waterfront designs, hosting multiple international restaurants and community spaces for social gatherings.
Two causeways connect the islands to Muharraq Island, with Bahrain International Airport located just 4.5 kilometers from the development.
The islands incorporate advanced engineering solutions, including geotubes for reclamation and vacuum sewerage systems, establishing the area as a technological center.
