The group consists of Bahrain Is- land itself, which has a length of about 30 miles and a maximum width of about 10 miles; three much smaller islands (Muharraq, Sitra and Nabbi Salih), so close to Bahrain on the north-east as to be virtually part of it; three other small islands (Umm Nasan, Jedda and Raka) more detached in the north- west; and a few tiny islets.
