Madinat Khalifa South (Arabic: مدينه خليفه الجنوبيه, romanized: Madīnat Khalīfah al Janūbīyah) is a north-western district of Qatari capital Doha. It is one of the two sections of Madinat Khalifa, the other being Madinat Khalifa North.[1] The district was constructed in the 1970s by the Emir of Qatar at the time, Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani, primarily to serve as a residential district for Qatari families.[2] Shortages of affordable housing in the district have fueled illegal construction practices such as constructing additional floors.[3]
