Doha, Today
![Weather]()
Set around 20 km from Doha along Dukhan Road, Al Samriya Farm sits within a fertile rawda area known historically as pastureland filled with Samar trees, gazelles, and local birds. Today it forms the heart of Al Samriya Estate, which links five key attractions: the working farm, Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani Museum, Al Samriya Hotel (Autograph Collection), an equestrian centre, and an animal/oryx reserve. Visitors can enjoy sweeping desert‑farm landscapes, spot Arabian oryx, gazelles and peacocks, and experience traditional-style stone architecture built using materials from the farm itself. Families often combine a day at the farm with a museum visit, a horse‑riding session for adults and kids, or a relaxing meal and pool time at the on-site resort hotel. The estate’s vision is to be Qatar’s leading day‑escape destination for culture and nature, unifying hospitality, sports, and heritage into one easy‑to-reach location about 10 minutes from Mall of Qatar.
Al Samriya Farm, part of the wider Al Samriya Estate, is a beautiful green escape where nature, Qatari heritage, and family‑friendly activities come together. Located just a short drive west of Doha along Dukhan Road, the farm offers a calm, open environment that feels far removed from the city. Visitors can enjoy sweeping desert‑farm landscapes, spot Arabian oryx, gazelles and peacocks, and explore traditional‑style stone buildings constructed using materials from the farm itself. It’s a relaxed destination for families who want a quiet day outdoors, surrounded by animals, greenery and heritage architecture.
The farm area forms the heart of Al Samriya Estate, blending working farmland with landscaped gardens and walking paths. Children can wander along shaded trails, watch animals grazing in open fields, and enjoy the simple pleasure of being in a real farm setting. Beyond the farm, the estate includes the Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani Museum, Al Samriya Hotel, an equestrian centre, and an oryx reserve. Many families combine a farm visit with one or more of these attractions to create a full day out in Al Shahaniya.
One of the highlights for kids is the chance to see animals up close in a natural environment. Peacocks often roam freely around the pathways, while gazelles and Arabian oryx can be spotted in designated areas of the estate. These gentle wildlife encounters give children a chance to observe animals in a calm, respectful setting. It’s also a great opportunity for photography, with the open skies, green fields and traditional buildings creating a beautiful backdrop.
Al Samriya Estate is designed to reflect Qatari heritage, with traditional‑style stone buildings, arches and courtyards inspired by local architecture. Many of the materials used in construction were sourced directly from the farm and surrounding land. Walking through the estate feels like stepping into a quiet, historic village. Families can admire the details of the buildings, explore shaded walkways, and enjoy the blend of nature and heritage that defines the space.
