Villas for rent in Al Wakra

Qatar is witnessing a rapid expansion in preparation for the 2022 World Cup and while some projects are being built on reclaimed land, other cities are being completely overhauled and developed in order to cater the masses that are relocating to Qatar, mainly when looking for career development and better job opportunities. The high interest in Qatar by expats has pushed the government to expand and develop areas outside of Doha, the country’s capital, to ensure that residents are able to choose from a high number of properties for rent in Qatar.

Al Wakrah was once known to be a small fishing and pearling village, but thanks to continuous and rapid development, it has now evolved into one of Qatar’s biggest and busiest cities. While buildings and the infrastructure are modern and up to date, Al Wakrah offers residents an insider look into Qatari cultural and tradition, as it is considered to be more of a traditional area, one that includes stunning mosques, old homes and a harbour. It is also home to Al Wakrah fort, which is one of the many significant landmarks in the country. The city is bordered by the Arabian Gulf on the eastern side, making it a coastal city. Major developments plans are underway for Al Wakrah, which include a park and a country club. A corniche-like water front is also planned, along with a number of hotels, a golf course and a railway station.
