Amwaj Islands (Arabic: جزر أمواج; transliterated: Juzur Amwaj) is a group of islands located in the north-east of Bahrain, near the coast of Muharraq island. It covers 30 million square feet.
Amwaj Islands is a pioneering project in Bahrain. It is the first to offer 100% freehold land ownership to expatriates living in the Kingdom of Bahrain. It is also filling the niche market for waterfront property which is in surprisingly low supply for an island nation. Almost complete with regard to the provision of infrastructure such as electricity, roads, water, sewerage and telecoms, Amwaj is now ready to welcome its first residents.
From an engineering perspective Amwaj introduced a number of new technologies to the region including geotubes for the reclamation phase of these man-made islands, vacuum sewerage, fibre optic "Smart City" technology, and many other innovative applications.
The Amwaj Islands were reclaimed from the relatively shallow seas to the North East of Muharraq Island, which is the northernmost island in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The overall size of Amwaj is just under 30 million square feet, or 3 million square meters approximately. The Islands contain residential, commercial (high rise) and hotel and retail components, as well as a 240m diameter circular marina with over 140 berths, designed by M/s Maunsell, out of their Sydney office.
The project is connected to the mainland by a causeway, approximately 1.8 km in length. Other facilities include a school and university, a hospital, fuel station, theme parks, a lagoon-side dining and cafe precinct, and so on.
