Bu Ghazal (Arabic:ابو غزال, sometimes calledAbu Ghazal) is a neighborhood ofManama,Bahrain.
Historically prior to the introduction of modern building techniques, the Bu Ghazal area was a source of a special type of whitemud used asmortar in construction. The mud was shipped toMuharraq port by boat for use in building construction - a process that could take up to three days.[1]
