Where to stay in Al Hitmī
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Hamad Medical City shares Zone 37 with New Al Hitmi and Fereej Bin Omran, and that pairing describes the district better than any hotel row would. Very few beds sit inside Zone 37. Visitors who came for the Museum of Islamic Art or the National Museum of Qatar will find the rooms held by Doha at large, and the sensible booking keeps Al Hitmī for an appointment or a family address rather than a base.

About Al Hitmī
What are the main landmarks in Al Hitmī?
Two museums and the body behind them answer for this district. The Museum of Islamic Art and the National Museum of Qatar are the addresses the record ties to New Al Hitmi, both under Qatar Museums, and neither one is the kind of place a visitor reaches by staying next door. Al Hitmī itself is street and housing.
Fereej Bin Omran runs alongside.
What is the history of Al Hitmī?
The name comes from a family. Al Hitmī carries the name of the Al-Hitmi, a branch of the Al Bin Ali tribe, which puts the district's origin in lineage rather than in a charter or a founding date the record can point to. Administrative grouping did the rest: New Al Hitmi, Fereej Bin Omran and Hamad Medical City together make up Zone 37 of Doha.
Where is Al Hitmī?
New Al Hitmi occupies part of Zone 37 in Doha, sharing that ground with Fereej Bin Omran and Hamad Medical City.
