History
Historically it was a separate village of its own, however with the expansion of Manama, it became incorporated into the capital city as one of its neighbourhoods as the city began unprecedented urbanization in the 20th century.[1]
It lies to the east of the Manama Souq and roughly south of the Diplomatic Area. It has traditionally had an identity with a tradition of Pomegranate cultivation. The area was also the site of the British Overseas Airways Corporation in the 1930s.[2]
Notable buildings
The British Embassy of Bahrain is located in Ras Rumman. It also contains the Ras Rumman Mosque.
