Bahrain from the Sky

Here is a satellite view of the Island of Bahrain. We live in the Northwest corner of the island. From that corner is you follow the coast line south, you will see the Bridge going West to a small island, and then continuing to Saudi Arabia. Only the norther 1/3 of the island is inhabited. the Capital, Manama is in the far Northeast corner of the main Island. Muharraq is the large island to the northeast of Manama.

Below is a picture that we captured from Google Earth. This is a free program from Google. If you would like to put it on your computer, look under the heading more, when you bring up the Google search page, and then click on even more. Then find Google Earth, and bring up the page, follow the instructions to download, or learn more about it. If you type in a search for Bahrain, the island will come up. Budayia is in the far Northwest corner of the island. You can zoom in as close as you want. If you click on a blue dot, it gives you a photo.



In the very center of the photo above, you can see our compound. It is the dark (green) rectangle. The pier that we walk is due West. You can see the slips for some of the boats. From our compound, if you go East, southeast (about an inch), you will see our village roundabout. The building directly South of our compound is the nearest Mosque (with the 9 white domes).
Happy Globe Trotting.
