From Wikipedia
Samaheej (Arabic: سماهيج Samāhīj, Classical Syriac: ܡܫܡܗܝܓ Mashmahig, Persian: سه ماهی Se Mahi) is a village in Bahrain on the northern coast of Muharraq Island. Al Dair village lies to its northwest, while Galali lies to its southeast. It is north of Bahrain International Airport. Samaheej was home to a historical Christian community, the remains of which have been uncovered through archaeological excavations at the site. Before the discovery of oil in Bahrain, most of the inhabitants were involved in farming, especially date palms, and fishing. Among the famous people from Samaheej is Abdullah bin Saleh al Samahiji (1675 - 1722), a medieval Islamic scholar, prominent within the Akhbari school of Shiism during the Safavid era.
