Al-Rayyan (Arabic: الريان) is a city in the similarly named municipality of Al Rayyan, in Qatar.[3] The city and its suburbs comprise the largest population center in Qatar outside of Doha proper, immediately to its east.[4] Consisting of all of the districts in the municipality's easternmost section, its western boundary is roughly where the Al Majd Highway runs through the municipality.[5] The city is a part of the Doha Metropolitan Area.[6] It was one of the venues for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[7]
