    Al Khor is a port city located in northern Qatar, approximately 50 kilometers from Doha. As one of the country's largest urban areas, Al Khor hosts many workers from the oil industry, given its proximity to Qatar's northern oil and natural gas reserves, as well as the Ras Laffan Industrial City. Additionally, it is one of the potential venues for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

    Al Jumail

    Al Jumail, a deserted pearling and fishing settlement located in the northeastern part of Qatar, was established in the 19th century and remained inhabited until the early 20th century, before the petroleum and gas industries triggered an economic transformation. The village's name derives from the Arabic word "jameel," meaning "beautiful," which refers to the trees that thrive in the region year-round. As noted on Wikipedia, in the 1820s, George Barnes Brucks was assigned to conduct the first British survey of the Persian Gulf. He documented Al Jumail in his survey, referring to it as "Yamale."
