-------------------------------
Madinat 'Isa (Isa Town) (Arabic: ????? ????) is a middle class suburb in Bahrain in the north central part of the country. The name Isa refers to Isa ibn Salman Al Khalifah, the ruler of Bahrain from 1961 to 1999.
Isa Town is largely comprised of affluent newly constructed villas, and is home to many members of Bahrain's educated middle classes. Many of its residents are of Huwala ancestory and speak a dialect of Persian as their first language. It is one of the few areas of Bahrain not to be represented by an Islamist or right wing MP, with Abdnabi Salman of the formerly communist Democratic Bloc elected in 2002.
Isa Town is famous for the traditional marketplace. Isa Town also houses most of the private schools in Bahrain, with the Indian School, Sacred Heart School, Ibn Khuldoon National School, Pakistan School, the Bahrain Bayan School, and the St. Christopher's School, all concentrated into a small zone which also includes the Isa Town campus of the University of Bahrain. The National Driving School and the Directorate of Road Traffic have their headquarters in Isa Town. Other offices include the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Information, which includes the Bahrain Radio & TV broadcasting station, in Isa Town. Besides the market, the main landmark is the Bahrain National Stadium.
Among those who live in the area is the Saudi singer, Rashed Al-Majed.
It was one of the twelve municipalities of Bahrain after being split off of the municipality of al Mintaqah al Wusta in 1988, and is now part of the Central Governorate.
