Tubli (Arabic: توبلي) is a village situated in the Kingdom of Bahrain. It overlooks the eponymous Tubli Bay, a Ramsar listed wetland of international importance.
Geography
[edit]Tubli is located along the eastern inland coastline of the main Bahrain Island, overlooking Tubli Bay. Across the bay to the east lie the islands of Nabih Saleh and Sitra. Tubli also lies south of the capital city, Manama. It is part of the Capital Governorate.
The village is accessible from Manama through the famous Bahrain Map monument traffic flyover junction. The junction was renovated in 2008 and opened to traffic in 2009 at a cost of $26.5 million dollars (10 million Bahraini dinars).[1]
Illegal land reclamation since the 1990s have threatened Tubli Bay's marine ecosystem and is the subject of frequent awareness campaigns by local residents.[2]
Economy
[edit]The Capital Trustees Board, which governs the capital governorate, was planning on relocating its offices to Tubli by the end of 2025.[3] Tubli is home to its own walkway. [4]
Tubli is the site of Bahrain's largest wastewater treatment plant. The plant began expansion work in 2024 to expand its daily flow capacity to 400,000 cubic metres from 200,000 cubic metres.[5]
