Site description (1994 baseline):

A group of small islands c.10 km off the south-east coast of Qatar.

See box for key species. Breeding species in 1970–1972 included Phalacrocorax nigrogularis (dead chicks found).

Non-bird biodiversity: None known to BirdLife International.

The lack of recent surveys makes it difficult to judge whether the island is under any threat.
