Amwaj Islands is in Block 257 of Muharraq. Bahrain Bus route 12 runs there from Manama. A taxi can take you to Amwaj Lagoon. For errands, use the Muharraq health-centre finder or the Seef Mall Muharraq ID card counter. Bahrain Post has parcel boxes at Seef Mall Muharraq, Marassi Galleria and Dragon City.

Going there for one of those errands? Check the service address before you leave. Choose the bus stop or taxi destination that matches your errand.

Where is Amwaj?

Amwaj is listed as Block 257 in Bahrain's public location data. Think of the block as an address area. Enter the building's full address in your map, and ask for the road and building if someone gives you only the area name.

If you are visiting a school or collecting a parcel, ask for its exact entrance. Amwaj Lagoon works as a taxi meeting point, but your errand may be elsewhere.

How do you get there?

Bus route 12 connects Manama with Amwaj Island through Muharraq. Open the operator's route page to see its stops. Use the Bahrain Bus app for live departures before you leave. Compare the stops in its journey planner with your destination.

A single bus trip is listed at 300 fils in cash or 275 fils with a GO Card. There are 1,000 fils in a Bahraini dinar. The GO Card is the bus payment card. Check the fare page again before paying, since fares can change.

Last checked: 25 October 2026 (bus fare).

If you prefer a taxi, there is a listed stop at Amwaj Lagoon. Give the driver the street or building when your destination is elsewhere. You can use the lagoon as a meeting point without assuming it is the door you need.

Driving is another option when you have a vehicle. Use a current map for the final turn, because the service you need may be in a different part of the islands. The bus and taxi links are especially helpful if you are making the trip without a car.

Health, ID cards and city services

For a health visit, ID card errand or municipal question, start with the matching link below. Pick the service first, then check its location. You may be able to settle a question by phone without travelling to a counter.

Health care

For a government health centre, open the health-centre finder and select Muharraq. It gives you centres and contact numbers. Pick one, then check its appointment details.

ID cards

For an ID card, there is a service counter at Seef Mall in Muharraq. It handles ID cards only. Use its page for directions and opening times before setting out. If your task concerns a different document, choose its service page instead.

Municipal matters

For a municipal matter, the service-centre list includes Muharraq. The ministry gives 17989898 for calls and WhatsApp. Ask there which counter handles your issue or whether you can finish it online.

For a police or ambulance emergency anywhere in Bahrain, call 999. Keep that separate from routine city-service questions.

Schools and post around Amwaj

A 2025 school review places the International School of Choueifat on Amwaj Islands. If you are comparing schools, do not stop with one name. The education finder lets you search public schools, private schools and early education institutions. Filter by area, then ask each school about places and admissions.

Need to collect a parcel? The transport ministry lists Bahrain Post boxes at Seef Mall in Muharraq, Marassi Galleria and Dragon City. You receive a code to open the box at your chosen location. Check separately if you need a staffed postal service.

For shops or restaurants, start with the exact business you want and check its own opening times. Amwaj Lagoon can help you orient yourself, but it does not replace a full address.
