Noaim or Al-Noaim (Arabic: النعيم; an-No'aim) is a neighborhood of Bahrain's capital Manama. It is to the west of Manama city center.^[1] Due to urban expansion, increasing population, size, and historical conditions, it has become like a semi-district, separate from Manama with many neighborhoods.

The population of Noaim is about 6,000 people, in addition, more than ten thousand people who descended from this district live in different areas and villages of Bahrain. While some of the families that moved away have been cut off from the area, the majority have remained in contact with their families, relatives, and friends who still live there. These visits increase in religious occasions such as holidays, Ashura and Ramadan.

One of the most important reasons for the isolation of the Noaim from Manama is the construction of the Wall of Manama,^{[2][failed verification]} which divided the neighborhood of Noaim into a southern part within the wall, and a northern part outside the wall. Since most people in the city had professions related to the sea like building ships, pearls trade and fishing, a lot of southern residents moved north outside the wall. Thus, Noaim remained separate from Manama. Few traces of the wall remain, restoring the urban link between Al Noaim and Manama neighborhoods.
