The island Jeddah (Arabic جزيرة جدة ) is a non- inhabited island in Bahrain. It lies west of Bahrain Island and north of Umm an Nasan in the Persian Gulf. It is connected to Umm an Nasan by a short causeway.
Jeddah was the site of one of Bahrain's prisons. Majeed Marhoon, Abdulhadi Khalaf and several other political activists spent time here in the Sixties and Seventies.
It later became the private property of Prime Minister Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa over and is currently not open to the public. On the island there is a palace, gardens, a helipad, a mosque and several other places that have been built for the prime minister and his family, although the island itself is uninhabited and Sheikh Khalifa himself lives in Riffa, Island of Bahrain.
The island consists of limestone cliffs. It is believed that the rocks which were cut from the island, were used in the construction of Barbar temple on the island of Bahrain.
