Chairman’s message The island experience, your way
We set out with a vision, which has become a reality. Creating an island community that is connected, refreshing and vibrant. A place by the sea in which to live, work, do business, in which to dine, enjoy sports, entertain… or just harmonise with nature.
We created something special, an island surrounded by tranquil azure waters, clear blue skies, fresh breeze, and a community of people with different cultures living in close harmony. An island flowing with waterways and lagoons connected to the sea. An island dotted with thousands of palm trees, flowers and lush green lawns.
Amwaj Island’s six man made islands are unique and represent a more balanced way of living in Bahrain; simple living yet completely contemporary, a life facing the sea, in touch with the stars, sand and capturing sea breezes.
Today we can take pride that we have been the pioneers in bringing waterside living into reality, and that we have been able to provide a perfect balance between community development waterside living and individual beach villas/condominiums in Bahrain, not far away from the bustling city.
While the vision still goes on, we take great pride in what we have achieved so far, and for progressing on track, being well on the way to completing our vision which means that our residents can live their island dreams at Amwaj Islands… today.
Welcome to Amwaj Islands.
Saud Abdulaziz Kanoo Chairman Ossis B.S.C. (C), Amwaj Islands

36 A short history lesson
For thousands of years, Bahrain has been defined by its relationship with water in one way or another. Formerly known as Dilmun, the country was an important trading centre that linked Sumeria with the Indus Valley as early as 5,000 BC.
In ancient times, Bahrain was the only haven where fresh water could be found on the long journey between Mesopotamia and India. The presence of fresh water through natural springs beneath the sea is thought to account for the name Bahrain itself – an Arabic word meaning “two seas,” which refers to the ancient belief that there was another sea beneath the sea bed.
