Al Rayyan (city)

Al Rayyan is a city in the State of Qatar, located in the municipality of the same name. It is situated to the southwest of Doha, the nation's capital. Known for its sprawling desert landscape, Al Rayyan is experiencing significant growth and development, driven largely by its proximity to Doha and its inclusion in Qatar's ambitious infrastructure projects. The municipality encompasses a larger geographical area than the city itself, including significant tracts of desert and rural land.

While primarily residential, Al Rayyan also houses a number of commercial enterprises and supports various industries connected to Doha's larger economy. The city is home to a substantial population, a mix of Qatari citizens and expatriates. Its infrastructure continues to expand to meet the needs of a growing population, with ongoing construction of housing, roads, and public services.

Significant landmarks and features within the Al Rayyan municipality (though not necessarily all within the city limits) include educational institutions, sports facilities such as the Education City Stadium (used in the FIFA World Cup 2022), and various recreational areas. The area plays a crucial role in Qatar's national development strategy, contributing significantly to the country's economic and social progress.
