Old Airport (Arabic: المطار العتيق; also referred to as Al Matar Al Qadeem) is an area of Doha, Qatar.[1] The district is located close to the site of Doha's old international airport servicing Qatar before the construction of the Hamad International Airport. Running through the district is Al Matar Al Qadeem Street (known in English as Old Airport Street), around which many businesses and retailers cater to the residents of the area. The first mall constructed in Qatar is also located within the district, next to the congested Najma roundabout.
