Explanation: At first I thought I would derive an adjectival expression from JAZEERA, but the rules of Arabic morphology trumpted that option. The only possibilities I could think of were جَزَري and جزائري, both of which may be confusing to most people. We can, if we so choose, imitate English morphology and use a noun form as an adjective:
موقع جزيرة
but that did not sound Arabic to me. If we eliminate the noun موقع, we can then open the possibility of referring to the position as:
جزيرة أو واحة
Other options:
موقع مُحاط، موقع مغمور
Depending on actual context, it may be possible to use the noun إعلان or دعاية instead of موقع, but that is a side issue.
