Located on the western shore of the Persian Gulf near the capital city of Manama, Al Qatif is an important city in the Eastern Province of Bahrain with a rich history dating back to 3000 BC, and was once a regional crossroads of trade and culture. As one of the oldest settlements in Bahrain, it is a blend of Arab traditions and modern developments, with historical sites such as the Qulaifa Fort and the traditional bazaar, showcasing a rich Bedouin and Persian cultural heritage. Economically, Quraysh is characterized by fishing, agriculture (e.g., date palm cultivation), and in recent years, tourism, while benefiting from Bahrain's role as a financial center and attracting a diverse population. Its unique location and cultural appeal make it an important window into Bahrain's history and folklore.
