Hotels in Ash Shahaniya

Ash Shahaniya is a city in central Qatar, located to the west of the capital, Doha, in the Al-Shahaniya Municipality. The area sits on the Qatari peninsula, surrounded by desert landscape that characterises much of the country's interior. The city is perhaps best known as the home of Qatar's camel racing traditions, with a major racetrack situated nearby where competitions take place during the cooler months. Travellers staying in Ash Shahaniya would find themselves within reach of this distinctive cultural attraction, as well as the Al-Shahaniya Sports Club facilities. The municipality also encompasses the Umm Bab coastal area to the west, where beach access is available. The city lies along the Dukhan Highway, which connects Doha to the industrial city of Dukhan further west, making it a stopping point for those travelling across the country. The surrounding area includes scattered farms and settlements that reflect Qatar's efforts to develop agricultural activity in the desert environment.
