Historically prior to the introduction of modern building techniques, the Bu Ghazal area was a source of a special type of white mud used as mortar in construction. The mud was shipped to Muharraq port by boat for use in building construction - a process that could take up to three days. [1]
As of 2019, it is one of the few places in Bahrain where foreigners are allowed to buy and own property as stated in the 2001 Non-Bahrainis Ownership of Property and Plots Law, alongside Hoora, Seef, Amwaj Islands, the Diplomatic Area and Juffair. [2]
It is situated in southern Manama and is close to the neighbourhoods of Zinj to the west, Salmaniya to the north, with Mahooz and Umm Al Hassam to the east.
