Zallaq (Arabic: الزلاق) is a village on the western coast of Bahrain. Zallaq was the home to the Al-Dawasir, Al-Zeabi and Al-Gahtam and Al-Seddiqi tribes in Bahrain together with Budaiya and Hawar Islands.[citation needed] It is famous for the Jazaer Beach (also known as Zallaq Beach).[1] The Al Areen Wildlife Park is also near the Jazaer Beach in Zallaq. The village has many fishing boats.[citation needed] From 1938 to 1945 the Bahrain Petroleum Company operated an oil shipment terminal near Zellaq.
