The Doha Industrial Area (Arabic: الدوحة المنطقة الصناعية, romanizedAd-Dawḥah al-Minṭaqat aṣ-Ṣinā'yah) is a district of Doha Municipality, Qatar.[1] It was previously a part of the Al Rayyan Municipality, which now geographically separates it from the rest of Doha Municipality.[2] The majority of the area's workers reside in the adjacent Labour City.

A municipal office for Doha Municipality is found in the district.[3]

Asian Town[edit]

Asian Town is a major commercial complex in the Industrial Area. Formerly known as West End Park, it contains many amenities for the district, such as West End Park International Cricket Stadium, an amphitheater, a large shopping mall and three cinema halls.[4] It was built to cater towards the large Asian expatriate population from South Asia and Southeast Asia in Qatar, particularly the Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Nepali and Filipino communities.[5][6]

Healthcare[edit]

Hazm Mebaireek General Hospital, centrally located in the district, received its first outpatients in September 2018.[7] In December 2018, the hospital was officially opened to the public.[8]

Public Transport[edit]

As the most populous area located outside of downtown Doha, the Industrial Area is served by six bus lines, four of which depart from Al Ghanim Bus Station and two of which depart at the Karwa Bus Station. Furthermore, there is a bus station in Asian Town which serves as the station of departure for six daily routes.[10]

Rail[edit]
