Ain Al Nuaman (Arabic: عين النعمان‎; also spelled Ain Al Noman) is a village in north-west Qatar, located in the municipality of Ash Shamal. It is roughly 91 km away from the capital Doha, and is close to the ruins of Zubarah. Largely an agricultural settlement, the area is characterized by its large concentration of farms and gardens, with little else in the way of public infrastructure.[1]

Etymology

Named after a local well, the first constituent of the village's name, "ain", refers to a natural source of water in Arabic. The second part, "Nuaman" was the family name of the individual who built the well which supplied water to the village.[2]

Infrastructure

The condition of roads is poor in the village. Currently, only a one-lane road runs through the village center and does not have adequate lighting. There is also a marked absence of commercial establishments in the village.[1]
