:''To be distinguished from Ras al Hadd (رأس الحد), a district with a famous turtle breeding beach in Oman'' Al Hidd ((アラビア語:الحد)) is a town in Bahrain, located on a sand spit on the southeastern extremity of Muharraq Island. The town has a large native Sunni population, of bedouin tribal origin, huwala, or Afro-Arabs.〔R. B. Serjeant, (Fisher-Folk and Fish-Traps in Al-Baḥrain ), Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, Vol. 31, No. 3 (1968), pp. 486-514〕 Before the discovery of oil in Bahrain, the inhabitants of Hidd were largely involved in the fishing or pearl diving industries. Many of Bahrain's fijiri performance groups are based in Hidd. Hadd used to be administered under its own municipality, but today it falls under the Muharraq Governorate. South of Hadd town lies the Hadd Industrial Area, built on reclaimed land. In addition to several factories, the Industrial Area has built on it a large power plant, a water desalination plant (which supplies 75% of Bahrain's clean water requirements), and a drydock (Arab Shipbuilding and Repair Yard or ASRY). Hadd lies south of the Bahrain International Airport and Arad. The Shaikh Khalifa Causeway connects Hadd to Juffair on Bahrain Island. ==Government and infrastructure== The Office of Ports and Maritime Affairs of the Ministry of Transportation has its headquarters in Building 702 in Hidd.〔"(Contact Us )" Ministry of Transportation.
