Al Hidd (Arabic: الحد) is a town in Bahrain, located on a sand spit on the southeastern extremity of Muharraq Island. The town has a largely Sunni population, of bedouin tribal origin, huwala, or Afro-Arabs. About a third of the inhabitants of Hidd are of Omani descent.[1]
Before the discovery of oil in Bahrain, the inhabitants of Hidd were largely involved in the fishing or pearl diving industries.
Hidd used to be administed under its own municipality, but today it falls under the Muharraq Governorate.
South of Hidd town lies the Hidd Industrial Area, built on reclaimed land. In addition to several factories, the Industrial Area has built on it a large power plant, a water desalination plant, and a drydock (Arab Shipbuilding and Repair Yard or ASRY).
The Shaikh Khalifa Causeway connects Hidd to Juffair on Bahrain Island.
