Abu Nakhla (Arabic: أبو نخلة, romanized: Abū Nakhlah) is a district in Qatar, located in the municipality of Al-Shahaniya.[2] Previously a village of some importance stood here, but by the 21st century was largely depopulated.[3] It was recorded as a stand-alone district in zone no. 81 with Al Mukaynis in the 2004 census, but both districts lost their census designations to Mebaireek.[4] In 2014, Abu Nakhla was moved from Al Rayyan Municipality to the newly created Al-Shahaniya Municipality.
A hospital managed by the Hamad Medical Corporation is based here to meet the health needs for workers of the nearby Doha Industrial Area.[5]
