==Etymology== thumb|left|300px|Map of Manama in 1926. The name Ras Rumman translates to "head of pomegrante" in Arabic. This name derives from the historically large fields starting at Ras Rumman and ending near Budaiya.

==History== Historically it was a separate village of its own, however with the expansion of Manama, it became incorporated into the capital city as one of its neighbourhoods as the city began unprecedented urbanization in the 20th century.<ref>{{cite web |last1=El-Ghonaimy |first1=Islam |last2=Al-Haddad |first2=Mariam |title=Towards Reviving the Missing Noble Characteristics of Traditional Habitual Social Life: “Al-Farej “In Kingdom of Bahrain |url=http://ijcua.com/index.php/ijcua/article/download/97/181?inline=1 |website=ijcua.com |accessdate=29 September 2019}}</ref>

It lies to the east of the Manama Souq and roughly south of the Diplomatic Area. It has traditionally had an identity with a tradition of Pomegranate cultivation. The area was also the site of the British Overseas Airways Corporation in the 1930s.<ref>{{cite web |title=International History Blog |url=http://intlhistory.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html?view=classic |accessdate=29 September 2019}}</ref>

==Notable buildings== The British Embassy of Bahrain is located in Ras Rumman. It also contains the Ras Rumman Mosque.
