Al Qadam (Al Qadam)
Al Qadam is a village in the northern region of the Kingdom of Bahrain.
The village is the site of an ancient burial mound which could potentially be a World Heritage Site after the country's Ministry of Culture nominated it to UNESCO. The village was home to Bahrain's oldest herbal products-producing factory, the Al Kamel Factory, which was established in the village in 1855. The factory had to be relocated from the village in order to expand its production capabilities and to meet national and regional demands. In 2008, amidst the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy, hundreds of people staged a protest in the village, calling on the Bahraini government to take action against Denmark. The country's parliament issued a statement condemning the cartoons.

Bahrain is the site of the ancient Dilmun civilization. It has been famed since antiquity for its pearl fisheries, which were considered the best in the world into the 19th century. Bahrain was one of the earliest areas to be influenced by Islam, during the lifetime of Muhammad in 628 AD. Following a period of Arab rule, Bahrain was ruled by the Portuguese Empire from 1521 until 1602, when they were expelled by Shah Abbas I of the Safavid dynasty. In 1783, the Bani Utbah clan captured Bahrain from Nasr Al-Madhkur and it has since been ruled by the Al Khalifa royal family, with Ahmed al Fateh as Bahrain's first hakim.
