Juffair is in Manama, Bahrain and is a more recent development after 1970 in Bahrain. The majority of this part of Bahrain was the sea. Thanks to land reclamation, it is now home to many hotels and some restaurants, flats and villas. In fact, Juffair is built on a massive land reclamation scheme which has extended Bahrain's coastline two kilometres to the east. The area is the site of frenetic building activity, with new apartment buildings and hotels constructed each year. Most of those who live in the area are established foreigners or upwardly mobile young Bahrainis. It is also the site of Bahrain's largest mosque, the huge domed Al Fateh Mosque, and houses the new national library which is due to open later in 2006.
