Infrastructural work to turn Hawar Islands into a world-class tourist destination is expected to begin by the end of the year. Area MP Mohammed Al Dossari said that Hawar Islands were the perfect place to have recreational facilities - including new hotels, resorts and chalets.

"Most of Bahrain's beaches are now private lands while it is difficult to have facilities on those which aren't," he said. "Developing Hawar into a tourist destination will help provide people in Bahrain with a nearby destination to enjoy themselves in. Hawar is a virgin island, where such tourism projects could be developed easily.

"Bids for projects there will be issued in a few months time." Al Dossari said Southern Governor Shaikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa was the person behind promoting Hawar. "Hawar will continue being protected as a natural habitat for various birds and animals, while at the same time it will become a place where people can enjoy their time," he added

Ya i read bout it, i hope they're serious this time, cause before that Danaat Hawaar thing that we never saw. Let's wait and see.

I still it belongs to us :p

^ Hahaha, don't be greedy again, you got the islands with the gas, it's better than Hawar, but hey we need extra beaches, your country is like 11 times Bahrain. It's ours :) hehe.

I still it belongs to us :p

^ man your new here, you don't know qatar4ever, he's one of the coolest guys in the hood. It's all a joke by the way, and it's not the first time it happens :).

Ohh fine, I see..

No bahraini spirit who said im joking, im dead serious ok!! It ours... I can prove it.. if u take our old text books, and the old red little notebook.. bo erayel.. ull see the map of qatar on the cover and right next to it u'll see hawar.. soo... hawar is ours... we have proof.. the little red notebooks... viva le hawar...

Bus Bahraini, seriously, alot of ppl think that there is natural gas in that region. There isnt. Even if there was natural gas, its so little that it wont be economical to develop the infrastructure to export the gas. Im thinking the natural gas there is accompined by the oil fields of Duhkan, in western coast of Qatar.

See Bahraini Spirit, I knew that.... thats why its an odd statement.

How dissapointing,

huh ?!

its not ours now 4 sure, we r bothers anyway i have lots of relatives in Bahrain

il thaki fukim answer this question.. what does hawar mean... and who ever answers will win hawar..

Hawar is the baby camel !

5ala9 moody gets to keep hawar for himself. Tell us moody what will you do with it?

Well back and I still believe it's a joke cause I've had it with him before. Well hey, if they want Hawar, we can have Alzubara ;).

Anyways, let's see what sort of work they wanna do there.

terra moody im joking around.. lay koon il rayal 7a6 eb 5a6rah..

Bahrain and Qatar are hilarious, In the early 90's both nations sent Naval personel to secure portions of the Hawar Island subsequently it was later discovered that the Naval contracts for both nations was given to Pakistan. When Pakistani Navy ships encountered each other one representing Bahrain and the other representing Qatar they laughed and headed back to manama and doha respectively. There was no CONFLICT HAHA, Its time both nations grew up before Saudi takes over hehe

Laaa walla Q4ever..

I understand your joke ! so what ,, We're all Brothers and this is our greatst asset that god has given us..

Cheers

Not a Joke,

My Father Taught at Ummul Qura University in Makkah Saudi 14 years ago, and he use to tell me it would get comedic when Qatari and Bahraini students wouldn't mingle with each other over HAWAR. The above story is well documented and others can verify for u, and as a Canadian muslim I too am a brother and find it hilarious to see arguments between two small muslim nations over an island!!
