al-Ghuwayriyah

Al Ghuwariyah is a metropolis placed in Al Khor Municipality in the state Qatar. Al Ghuwariyah became once a municipality of Qatar until it changed into merged with Al Khor Municipality, which is inside the east, in 2004. It has been typically populated by the Al-Naimi tribe of Qatar since the early 1920s. Two recommendations had been placed forth for the beginning of Al Ghuwariyah's call. The first is that it's far derived from 'alghar', the Arabic term for the laurel own family of plants. This is taken into consideration unlikely as this own family of vegetation isn't always found in Qatar. The greater conceivable rationalization is that the name derives from the Arabic phrase 'ghar', which translates to cave.

This is lent credence with the aid of the presence of two outstanding caves close by. An entry for Al Ghuwariyah may be found in J.G. Lorimer's 1908 ebook Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf. He describes it as a nomadic camping ground 12 miles south-west of Huwailah and mentions a close-by masonry nicely, 8 fathoms deep, that yields excellent water. After Qatar started out to receive widespread profits from its oil extraction sports in the Nineteen Sixties and 1970s, the government launched numerous housing initiatives for its citizens. As part of this initiative, 55 homes were built in Al Ghuwariyah by means of 1976.
