**Al Rayyan** ([Arabic](/source/Arabic_language): الريان; also spelled *Ar Rayyan*) is the third-largest [municipality](/source/Municipalities_of_Qatar) in [Qatar](/source/Qatar). Its primary settlement is the [city of the same name](/source/Al_Rayyan_(city)), which occupies the entire eastern section and is a part of the [Doha Metropolitan Area](/source/Doha_Metropolitan_Area). The vast expanse of mostly undeveloped lands in the south-west also falls under the municipality's administration.

## Etymology

[Natural spring](/source/Spring_(hydrology)) of Qulmat Al Maszhabiya in Al Mashabiya Reserve, next to [Abu Samra](/source/Abu_Samra).

Similar to many other names given to Qatari settlements and municipalities, Al Rayyan Municipality was named after a geographic feature present in its namesake, the [city of Al Rayyan](/source/Al_Rayyan_(city)). The city derives its name from the [Arabic](/source/Arabic) term *ray*, which translates to "irrigation". This name was bestowed upon it due to its low elevation, allowing it to act as a [flood plain](/source/Flood_plain) and provide a sustained supply of water to the numerous plants that grew within its boundaries.[2]

## History

In March 1893, the [Battle of Al Wajbah](/source/Battle_of_Al_Wajbah) was fought between the Qataris and [Ottomans](/source/Ottoman_Empire) at the recently built [Al Wajbah Fort](/source/Al_Wajbah_Fort), located 16 km (10 mi) west of Old Doha. Although Qatar did not gain full independence from the Ottoman Empire, Qataris see the outcome of the battle as a defining moment in the establishment of Qatar as a modern state.[3]

Al Rayyan Municipality was created as an independent municipal administration by the Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning in 1972.[4]

In 2004, [Al Jemailiya Municipality](/source/Al_Jemailiya) was merged with Al Rayyan, and [Jariyan Al Batnah Municipality](/source/Jariyan_al_Batnah) was split between Al Rayyan and [Al Wakrah Municipality](/source/Al_Wakrah_(municipality)). [Doha Industrial Area](/source/Industrial_Area_(Doha)), also known as Zone 58, was split off from Al Rayyan and integrated into [Doha Municipality](/source/Ad-Dawhah_(municipality)), becoming an exclave of Doha.[5]

In 2014, the western city of [Al-Shahaniya](/source/Al-Shahaniya) was dissociated from Al Rayyan Municipality to form its own municipality. Integrating approximately 35% of Al Rayyan's area into the new municipality, some of Al Rayyan's western localities such as Al Gharbiam, [Al Utouriya](/source/Al_Utouriya), [Al Jemailiya](/source/Al_Jemailiya), [Umm Bab](/source/Umm_Bab), [Rawdat Rashed](/source/Rawdat_Rashed), [Al Nasraniya](/source/Al_Nasraniya), [Dukhan](/source/Dukhan) and Al Khurayb were also included in the new municipality.[6]

## Geography

Fenced-off area of [Jebel Nakhsh](/source/Jebel_Nakhsh) in southern Qatar.

Al Rayyan is bordered by four municipalities: [Umm Salal](/source/Umm_Salal) to the northeast, [Al-Shahaniya](/source/Al-Shahaniya) to the west, [Doha](/source/Ad-Dawhah_(municipality)) to the east and [Al Wakrah](/source/Al_Wakrah_(municipality)) to the southeast. It is divided into two main sections; the west consisting of scattered rural settlements, farms and open desert, and the east comprising the [city of Al Rayyan](/source/Al_Rayyan_(city)), an urban offshoot of Metropolitan [Doha](/source/Doha)'s westward growth.[7]

According to the Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME), the municipality has 223 [depressions](/source/Depression_(geology)), 38 [wadis](/source/Wadi), 24 [streams](/source/Stream), six [plains](/source/Plain), six [sabkhas](/source/Sabkha), six [capes](/source/Cape_(geography)), and six [bays](/source/Bay). No islands exist off its coasts.[8] The MME recorded 50 hills, including [Jebel Nakhsh](/source/Jebel_Nakhsh), which stands 90 meters tall.[9] Furthermore, there is one [highland](/source/Highland) in the municipality, called Alaa Jaow Al Mathlouth Al Janoubi which consists of elevated surface south of an elongated depression and its namesake, Jaow Al Mathlouth.[8]

[Al Gharrafa](/source/Al_Gharrafa), which is a district of Al Rayyan City and also a part of metropolitan Doha, is being developed as a large-scale commercial hub for residents of northwest Doha, northern Al Rayyan and southern Umm Salal. The district is already a well-established retail center, hosting many major malls and supermarkets. Some residential developments are also planned for the district.[10]

## Economy

[Center-pivot irrigation](/source/Center-pivot_irrigation) at Irkhaya Farms.

Due to Al Rayyan's lack of a coastline in its population centers in the eastern section, fishing and [pearling](/source/Pearl_hunting) did not play a part in building its economy; this is in sharp contrast to Qatar's other urban centers which were largely dependent on maritime activities. Instead, nomadic herding of [livestock](/source/Livestock) and small-scale [crop](/source/Crop) cultivation comprised the livelihoods of its past inhabitants.

According to government statistics recorded when [Al-Shahaniya](/source/Al-Shahaniya) was still integrated into Al Rayyan, the municipality accounted for the majority of Qatar's farming activities. In 2015, 36% of Qatar's total farmland was based in Al Rayyan, putting it just ahead of [Al Khor](/source/Al_Khor) with 35% of the country's farmland. There were 499 farms occupying 17,136 hectares, 256 of which were involved in cultivating crops, 234 of which were mixed operations, 8 of which raised livestock, and 1 categorized as "other".[13] The municipality had a livestock inventory of 108,508, including 52,582 sheep and 27,380 goats. Livestock numbers were surpassed only by Al Khor.[14]

Until 2017, [Muaither](/source/Muaither) Yard was the only farmers' market in the municipality.[15] [Qatar Foundation](/source/Qatar_Foundation) established Torba Farmers' Market in [Education City](/source/Education_City) in November 2017. Only organically grown produce is sold at this market.[16]

## Education

According to the 2015 census conducted by the Ministry of Municipality and Environment, there were a total of 199 schools located in Al Rayyan at that time.[17] [State schools](/source/State_school) were recorded as amounting to 108 in the 2016 education census – 50 were exclusively for girls and 58 were for boys. A slightly higher number of students were male, at 23,558 compared to 23,455 female students.[18]

Entrance to [Carnegie Mellon University](/source/Carnegie_Mellon_University_in_Qatar) in Education City.

Several schools have transferred to Al Rayyan from Doha as a result of lower operating costs and closer proximity to students.[19]

Various universities main campuses in [Education City](/source/Education_City), a city-scale project by [Qatar Foundation](/source/Qatar_Foundation) which is spread across the [Al Gharrafa](/source/Al_Gharrafa), [Gharrafat Al Rayyan](/source/Gharrafat_Al_Rayyan) and [Al Shagub](/source/Al_Shagub) districts of [Al Rayyan City](/source/Al_Rayyan_(city)).[2] Among the universities are:[20]

- [Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar](/source/Carnegie_Mellon_University_in_Qatar)

- [Georgetown University in Qatar](/source/Georgetown_University_in_Qatar)

- [Hamad Bin Khalifa University](/source/Hamad_Bin_Khalifa_University)

## Healthcare

Healthcare standards in the municipality have been boosted by [Sidra Medical and Research Center](/source/Sidra_Medical_and_Research_Center),[19] which is in the [Al Gharrafa](/source/Al_Gharrafa) district of [Al Rayyan](/source/Al_Rayyan_(city)).[2] Its initial inpatient hospital was formally opened in January 2018 with 400 beds.[21] At peak operational capacity, it will serve more than 275,000 patients per year.[22] Biomedical research is also conducted at Sidra, with its research facilities becoming operational in 2015.[23]

[Aspetar](/source/Aspire_Zone#Aspetar), a specialised orthopaedic and sports medicine hospital, is found in the [Aspire Zone](/source/Aspire_Zone) in the [Baaya](/source/Baaya) district.[19] Commencing operations in 2007,[24] it was the first-ever sports medicine hospital in the Middle East region. It earned accreditation as a [FIFA](/source/FIFA) Medical Centre of Excellence in 2009.[25]

Overall, there were twenty-six health care facilities recorded by the 2015 government census.[17] Sixty-four pharmacies were recorded in the municipality in 2013 by Qatar's Supreme Council of Health.[26]

## Transportation

### Public transport

[Doha Metro](/source/Doha_Metro)'s [Green Line](/source/Green_Line_(Doha_Metro)), also known as Education Line.

Public transport in the municipality is generally poor and not used by most of its residents due to a lack of facilities at the central station and inconsistent [headway](/source/Headway).[27]

### Metro

[Doha Metro](/source/Doha_Metro)'s [Green Line](/source/Green_Line_(Doha_Metro)), also called the Education Line, passes through Al Rayyan.

### Roads

#### Salwa Road

Salwa Road runs from Doha proper to [Abu Samra](/source/Abu_Samra) on the Qatar-Saudi border for roughly 95 km.[30] For the most part, the road passes solely through Al Rayyan Municipality, but there is a stretch of highway that serves as the dividing line between Al Rayyan Municipality and [Al-Shahaniya](/source/Al-Shahaniya) Municipality.[2] It is an important commercial artery in the municipality's eastern extremity, hosting car showrooms, superstores and outlet stores.[31] Moreover, many rural areas to the south-west of Metropolitan Doha are connected to the highway network through Salwa Road.

## Infrastructure

### Government infrastructure

On 9 December 2015, the Ministry of Municipality and Environment inaugurated a government services complex in [Al Rayyan City](/source/Al_Rayyan_(city)).[34] Four days later, the Ministry of Economy and Commerce established a branch at the services complex.[35] Later in May 2016 another government services complex was created in [Mesaimeer](/source/Mesaimeer). Almost all government ministries are represented at the complex.[36]

In the south-west, [Abu Samra](/source/Abu_Samra) accommodates Qatar's sole border crossing with [Saudi Arabia](/source/Saudi_Arabia).[37] The Ministry of Interior maintains an Immigration Department office and Customs Department office near the border crossing.[2] On 5 June 2017, when a quartet composed of Saudi Arabia, the [United Arab Emirates](/source/United_Arab_Emirates), [Bahrain](/source/Bahrain) and [Egypt](/source/Egypt) [severed ties](/source/Qatar_diplomatic_crisis) with Qatar, the border crossing was shut down.[38]

### Worker accommodation

Municipal estimates put the number of residential units for workers at 173,550 for 2017.[39] A massive labor camp in the [Umm Al Afaei](/source/Umm_Al_Afaei) district with a capacity for 21,000 workers was announced in 2013. The project was reported to cost QAR 122 million.[40]

## Landmarks and historic sites

Trees at [Aspire Park](/source/Aspire_Park).

There are a number of historic forts in the municipality, most of which are located within [Al Rayyan City](/source/Al_Rayyan_(city)).
