Busaiteen or Beseytin (Arabic: البسيتين) is a small town in northern Bahrain.
The town is historically a Sunni-majority area, although in recent years some Shi’ite residents have started moving into Busaiteen however the number of them remains small.
The town's name, "Busaiteen," is claimed to pertain to the large number of orchards (Basātīn بساتين in Arabic) found in it, however, just like other city names of Bahrain,[1][2] it is possible that it has Persian roots, as it sounds (pronunciation wise) more like "Beseytin" a village in Khozestan, Iran.
King Hamad University Hospital, established by a royal decree in 2010, is situated in Busaiteen.
[4] Historically, inhabitants were primarily involved in pearl diving and fishing before the discovery of oil.
