Al Thakhira (Arabic: الذخيره, romanized: Adh Dhakhīrah, lit. 'Ammunition') is a town on the coast of the Al Khor municipality in Qatar, about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) northeast of the city of Al Khor City and 60 kilometres (37 mi) from the capital Doha. Al Thakhira is closely affiliated with Al Khor City, both having been founded by the Al Muhannadi tribe. Like other coastal settlements in the area, its inhabitants historically relied solely on pearling and fishing for sustenance.
