About Al Ghānim, Qatar
Al Ghānim is an important coastal city in the northern region of Qatar, located about 70 kilometers north of the capital city of Doha, adjacent to the Port of Khor and the Ras Laffan Industrial City. The city is known for its fishing industry and traditional trade, and is one of the representative areas of Qatar's maritime cultural heritage.
Geographical location and economic characteristics
Located on the Persian Gulf coast, Al Ghanim is rich in marine resources and the local economy is based on fishing, pearl gathering and shipbuilding. In recent years, with the development of Qatar's energy industry, the city's surroundings have been gradually integrated into the supply chain system of the Ras Laffan Industrial Zone, becoming an auxiliary hub of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) export chain.
Culture and Life
Al Ghanim retains the traditional Qatari seaside village look, with a mix of low-rise white buildings and mosques. The inhabitants are mostly fishermen and continue the seafaring traditions of the Arabian Peninsula. Although small, the city has a good infrastructure and is well connected to Doha and the northern city of Al Khor via the coastal highway.
Tourism and Ecology
Visitors can experience authentic fishing boat trips, see sea turtle habitats or visit the nearby Ain Mohammed Nature Reserve. Due to its proximity to Qatar's northern oil and gas fields, the city is surrounded by a unique blend of modern industrial facilities and traditional fishing villages.
