Bani Jamrah (بني جمرة)

Bani Jamrah is known for its weavers, who produce cloth in many different patterns. The distinct material can be purchased from shacks, a few hundred meters out of town. This was done to keep too many tourists from entering the town itself. Demonstrations of weaving can be seen at various shacks, but the one opposite the cemetery seems to be the most popular.
You can get to Bani Jamrah by taking the bus from Manama to the Ad-Diraz Temple and walk the last few hundred meters. Bani Jamrah is in the northwest of Bahrain, 10 km (6 miles) west of al-Manama.
