3. Umm Salal

This municipality is located a few kilometres north of Doha (think IKEA). There are plenty of reasonably priced and ideally sized apartments and villas available for rent in this area. It’s no wonder that it’s becoming increasingly popular among residents.

It’s also home to the town of Umm Salal Mohammed, which was founded around 1910 by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Jassim Al Thani, who designed and oversaw its construction. The refurbishment of the Barzan Towers was also his decision, to serve as an outpost to scout for invasive Ottoman troops, and also as his winter residence.
