Al Kharayej (Arabic: الخرايج|Al Kharā’ij) is a district in Qatar that is located geographically in the municipality of Al Daayen but is included in the census as a district of Ad-Dawhah.[2] Following the adoption of a cabinet resolution in 2002, Al Kharayej became one of three settlements in Qatar where foreigners could own real estate.[3] It is a part of Lusail city.
Traditionally an agricultural settlement, Al Kharayej is named after a local saline spring, with "kharayej" being an Arabic term for saline spring. Many salt-tolerant forages grow around this spring, thus it was a popular grazing area for nomadic herdsman.[4]
Located in the southeast corner of Al Daayen, Al Kharayej borders Al Kheesa and Wadi Al Banat to the west, Al Egla to the south and Lusail to the north. To the east it is surrounded by the Persian Gulf.[4]
