Old Airport (Doha)
Old Airport is a district of Doha, Qatar.
Old Airport is a district of Doha, Qatar. The district is one of the most established and densely inhabited neighborhoods in Doha. Situated in the southern part of the city, it served as the site of Doha's international airport prior to the construction of the Hamad International Airport. Covering an area of approximately 1,304 acres, the neighborhood is characterized by a predominance of standalone villas, modest commercial establishments, and a few institutional buildings, including schools. In 1997, the district became home to The Mall, the first enclosed shopping mall in Doha.
