Nuwaidrat (Arabic: النويدرات) is a village located in Bahrain, close to Sitra; it was formerly part of the Sitra Municipality.
==History== ===1990s uprising=== During the 1990s Bahraini uprising, a policeman named Ibrahim al-Saeedi was killed in Eker after being surrounded by a trio of armed anti-government vandals and then killed by one of the three men, a Nuwaidrat resident named Isa Qambar. Qambar was executed on March 26, 1996. A memorial for Qambar was held in the village on March 26, 2008. Also present was Ali Salman, the leader of the then largest political party in Bahrain, Al Wefaq, which has since been dissolved.
