Old Al Hitmi (Arabic: الهتمي العتيق, romanized: Al-Hitmī al-'Tīq; also known as Al-Hitmi Al-Ateeq or simply Al Hitmi) is a mixed-use district in Qatar, located in the municipality of Ad Dawhah. The name is derived from Al-Hitmi family, which is a branch of the main Al Bin Ali tribe.[2] Together with Al Rufaa, the district forms Zone 17, which has a population of 6,028.[3]
History
The district was first settled around 1930 by the Al Hitmi family, a branch of the Al Bin Ali tribe. Most residential units here date back to the early-to-mid 20th century. As a result of many years of neglect, most of the older buildings have fallen into varying states of disrepair.[4] After Qatar began profiting from oil extraction in the 1970s and 1980s, many modernistic high-rise buildings were constructed.[5] Currently, the neighborhood suffers from cluttered roads and a shortage of sidewalks, pedestrian crossings and parking spaces.[6]
