The entire story of selling Fasht AlJarim is officially denied in Today's Akhbar AlKhaleej. The title deed has been seen by members of the newspaper and confirmed to be still owned by the "Government of Bahrain".

Could it be that Asdaf is a different development? It is supposed to be just 1km away, while the fasht is 20

I believe 1km is where it starts, it’s supposed to cover an area of 1,600 hectare as reported thats 160,000 Square Meters which is enough to cover a substantial area of the Fasht.

Fake Asdaf, fake Amwaj, Fake Durrah.. I find the names rather ironic really!

so how about the real Asdaf (Seashells) , Amwaj (Waves) and Durrah (Large Pearl)?

Could it be that Asdaf is a different development? It is supposed to be just 1km away, while the fasht is 20:

The 1,600-hectare islands will be situated about one kilometre off the north east coast of Bahrain and will feature a central business district, a wide range of residential accommodation, and commercial, retail and tourism development.
