About Al Khor
Al Khor is a coastal city in northeastern Qatar, about 50 kilometres north of Doha. Once a centre for pearl diving and fishing, it has developed into a modern municipality while retaining its maritime heritage. The city serves a mixed population of Qatari nationals and expatriate workers, many employed in nearby industrial zones. Prayer times are managed by the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs.
Al Khor sits along Qatar's northeastern coast, with a natural harbour that shaped its history as a fishing and pearling community. Today it combines traditional elements with modern residential and commercial development. The area attracts residents seeking a quieter pace than Doha while remaining connected to the capital and the industrial facilities in the northern region.
The city's mosques serve both longstanding Qatari families and the diverse expatriate community that has grown alongside local industries. Friday prayers bring together residents from different backgrounds, and mosques offer Quran classes and community programmes. Al Khor's Islamic life reflects both its heritage and its evolving population.
