Bilad Al Qadeem

Bilad Al Qadeem

Bilad Al Qadeem ( _ar. بلاد القديم) is a town in Bahrain. It has now been incorporated into a suburb of Manama and is situated next to Zinj. Prior to the Portuguese invasion in 1519 it served as the capital of Bahrain and did so again later during Safavid rule in the seventeenth century. It was traditionally a centre for Usuli theological thought and had a long standing rivalry with the Akhbari centre of Diraz.
