, in the
Northren Governorate
o the Kinrick o
Bahrain

.
Budaiya is the maist fertile aurie in the kintra, irrigatit frae a lairge concentration o freshwater springs an aquifers. It is the location o maist ferms, stables, an traditional gulf faimily ferms/retreats
nakhal
. The toun serves as ane end-pynt o the
Budaiya Road
, which runs tae

The biggest problem the Budaiya Road region is facin is
deforestation
due tae a waves o construction, an the seepin o sea watter intae naitural unnergrund
aquifers
as a result o the pre-construction biggin process o the
Mina Salman
seaport in the 1950s. Budaiya Road is still remembered as ane o the anerlie "naturally shadit" pairts o Bahrain whaur thoosans o wild palm trees actit as filters frae the het, glarin desert sun. Maist o the trees wur cut doun tae expand the route an 'modrenize' the aurie.
The toun wis foondit bi the
Dawasir
tribe, but maist o the tribe left en masse tae mainland
Saudi Arabie
in 1923, efter a conflict wi the
Breetish colonial
authorities. Mony Dawasir tribe members later returned tae Budaiya, an thay continue tae play a leadin role in the veelage the day. Prior tae the
discovery o oil in Bahrain
, maist Budaiya residents wur involved in the
pearl divin
an fishin industry.

European
an American expatriates livin in the kinrick an haes few a places that serve as a niche tae the youth Bahraini subculturs (
