Al Wakrah, Coastal city in eastern Qatar
Al Wakrah extends over 75 square kilometers along the Persian Gulf coast, featuring natural beaches and modern developments at 9 meters above sea level.
The settlement originated as a fishing village, reaching its peak in 1920 with a fleet of 300 ships dedicated to pearl diving activities.
The Al Wakrah Heritage Village maintains traditional Qatari architecture with wind towers, mosques, and a waterfront market reflecting regional building techniques.
Al Wakrah Hospital provides medical services to residents while the city connects to Doha through major highways and public transportation networks.
Al Janoub Stadium, constructed for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, incorporates design elements inspired by traditional dhow boats used by pearl divers.
