}}Al Kheesa ({{lang-ar|الخيسة|Al Khīsah}}) is a village in the municipality of Al Daayen in Qatar.[2][3] It was demarcated in 1988.[4] It is approximately 3 km south of Rawdat Al Hamama.[5]

Etymology

Al Kheesa derives its name from the Arabic word for 'large garden'. It was given this name because of its abundance of gardens and cedar trees.[6]

History

In J.G. Lorimer's 1908 publication Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf, he makes mention of "Khīsah" as a nomadic settlement situated "12 miles north-west of Dohah and 4 from the east coast". In the area he observed two unlined wells, 5 fathoms deep, of indifferent water.[7]

Infrastructure

Qatar Radio's first transmission station in 1968 was located in Al Kheesa.[8] The village hosts the primary pumping station for the QR 3.63 billion North Doha Sewage Treatment Works, which is centered in Umm Salal Ali.[9]

The village's historic architecture has faced a sharp decline in recent years as a result of neglect by the government.[6][10] Al Daayen Municipality is developing Al Kheesa to serve as a residential hub for its southern sector. In the future, it is anticipated to house approximately 25,000 residents.[11]

02 Mall is a popular attraction in Al Kheesa. A branch of Qatar's oldest supermarket chain, Family Food Centre, opened up in the mall in 2019.[12]

Transport

Currently, the elevated Al Kheesa Metro Station is under construction, having been launched during Phase 2A. Once completed, it will be part of Doha Metro's Green Line.[13]
