Al Rayyan

Al Rayyan is Qatar’s third-largest municipality; it has a city of the same name that serves as the main settlement. Al Rayyan City sits in the eastern part and forms a segment of Doha Metropolitan Area.

The largest population center outside Doha itself is found within Al Rayyan and its surrounding suburbs. Its location directly east of Doha proper adds more significance to this area.

Several districts are part of Al Rayyan City such as Abu Hamour, Al Aziziya, Al Gharrafa, Al Luqta, Al Waab, and Muaither.
