Properties for rent in Al Khor

Qatar is witnessing an unprecedented rate of development, thanks to its successful bid in hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup. With that in mind, it has created a number of jobs and people from all over the world are jumping on the chance for new career opportunities and developments, taking advantage of the high wages and tax free life that Qatar offers. In turn, this has created the need for a number of new residential units to become available, in different locations, different styles and budgets, to cater the demand of residents. Luckily, there is a high number of properties for rent in Qatar available for expats.

As a result of most residents looking for properties for rent in Doha, and because the country's capital remains the most highly populated city in the country, prices of rent has increased dramatically, traffic is becoming heavier and heavier, and there are even waiting lists for schools and housing. Consequently, a number of residents are choosing to move further away from the city limits, and are looking for different housing locations than Doha. The town has beaches with some historical towers, making it a coastal city, a characteristic that residents love. The calmness and serenity that Al Khor offers is a far contrast to the bright lights of Doha, which many like to escape.

One of those areas is Al Khor, which has now developed into a full fledged city, as opposed to only five years ago, when it was known as a humble and low paced fishing and pearling hub. Al Khor is a municipality in the state Qatar; Al Khor City is located in the northeast coast of Qatar, around 60 kilometres from Doha, and in addition to offering a number of properties for rent, it also offers residents a chance to invest and look into buying properties for sale as well, including apartments for sale and villas for sale.
