About the area
Al Thumama runs south from the centre toward the airport, and the stadium that carries its name — modelled on the gahfiya cap — gave the district a landmark. Housing is a mix of older villas and newer apartment blocks, and the airport road makes it convenient for anyone who travels often.
Al Thumama is one of Doha's planned southern districts, laid out by the municipality rather than grown piecemeal, and it carries one of the eight 2022 World Cup stadiums. Its position between the centre and Hamad International makes it a practical base for anyone who travels often.
