Umm Salal Municipality, Municipality north of Doha, Qatar.
Umm Salal Municipality occupies 318 square kilometers of landlocked territory between Doha, Al Daayen, Al Rayyan, and Al Shahaniya municipalities in Qatar.
The municipality dates from 1972 when Qatar established its initial administrative divisions, with headquarters opening in 1974 under Mohammad bin Jaber Al Thani.
The name translates to 'mother of rocks' in Arabic, reflecting the numerous stone formations scattered throughout the northern section of the municipality.
The northern part contains 161 agricultural farms spread across 5,044 hectares, producing crops and maintaining livestock with 41,870 animals, primarily sheep.
The Barzan Towers, constructed in 1895, stand on Jebel Lusail hill and served as observation posts for water sources and lunar sightings during Ramadan.
