Ar Rayyan, Metropolitan city in Al Rayyan Municipality, Qatar
Al Rayyan extends across eastern Al Rayyan Municipality as the second largest population center in Qatar, connecting directly with the capital city of Doha.
The Battle of Al Wajbah Fort in Al Rayyan during March 1893 marked a decisive confrontation between Qatari forces and Ottoman troops, leading to Qatar's independence.
The name Al Rayyan originates from the Arabic word 'ray', referring to irrigation systems that sustained agriculture through natural water collection in the low-lying areas.
The city maintains 199 educational institutions, including schools within Education City, plus multiple stations along the Green Line of the Doha Metro system.
Education City Stadium, constructed for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, incorporates solar panels on its roof and provides seating for 40,000 spectators.
