Southern Governorate

The Southern Governorate (المحافظة الجنوبية‎, Al-Muḥāfaẓat al-Janūbīyah) is in Bahrain.

Understand
The Southern Governorate makes up almost two thirds of Bahrain's area, but is sparsely populated and home to less than a tenth of the country's 1.5 million inhabitants. Administratively the governorate also includes the cities of Riffa and Sitrah and the Hawar Islands – these we handle in separate articles.

Get in
Drive or take a taxi. For destinations along the east coast as far as Jaww and along the west coast as far as the University of Bahrain (holidays all the way to Jazair Beach), bus is an option too.
