The Southern Governorate (Arabic: المحافظة الجنوبية‎‎; transliterated: al-Muhafazah al-Janobiyah) has the largest area of the four governorates of Bahrain, and the smallest population (91,450).[1] It includes parts of Bahrain's old municipalities - Al Mintaqah al Gharbiyah, Ar Rifa' wa al Mintaqah al Janubiyah, and Juzur Hawar (the Hawar Islands). It is the least populated of the regions on Bahrain and the least economically productive, per capita.
