Najma (Doha)

Najma (Arabic: نجمة) is a Qatari district located in the municipality of Doha. Considered to be one of Doha's older districts, the bulk of Najma's commercial and office spaces are located along the arterial roads of Airport Street, C Ring Road and B Ring Road. The district is characterized by its high population density and its historic architecture, particularly the traditional courtyard houses, some of which date back to the 1960s.

Land adjacent to the Al Mansoura station, the highest-density area, is predominantly privately owned, featuring a variety of residential structures, including villas, apartments, and worker accommodations. Retail establishments also line most streets, with the commercial offerings encompassing car dealerships, lodging facilities, markets, and cinemas. A notable landmark is Souq Al Haraj, situated in the central area of the neighborhood, which serves as a focal point for local commerce. The district predominantly consists of South Asian expatriate workers and is considered a popular and affordable commercial hub.
