A Brief History

Al Kharayej takes its name from a local saline spring, kharayej being the Arabic term for such a mineral spring, and it began as a small agricultural settlement whose salt-tolerant vegetation historically drew nomadic herders. In 2002 a cabinet resolution designated it as one of only three settlements in Qatar where foreigners were first permitted to own real estate, marking a turning point in its development. It has since been absorbed into the master-planned Lusail City, with modern residential and mixed-use projects gradually replacing its former agricultural landscape.

Architecture & Character

In keeping with Lusail's master plan, Al Kharayej is oriented toward contemporary apartment living rather than the older villa compounds found elsewhere in Qatar, and the district has been designed to accommodate dozens of residential towers. The built environment favours a modern international style, with spacious landscaped pavements and open public realm woven between the buildings. A neighbourhood golf course and the district's Gulf-facing position give it a green, waterfront feel, while its towers benefit from proximity to Lusail landmarks such as Lusail Boulevard and Place Vendôme Mall.
