Abu Hamour

Abu Hamour (Arabic: بوهامور, romanized: Abū Hāmūr) is a Qatari district in the municipality of Al Rayyan.

[11] A large area in Abu Hamour has been set aside by the government to house members of the Baluchi ethnic group.

First, the government designated a Baluchi housing area in Fereej Abdel Aziz in the 1950s, and later relocated them to Nuaija, before finally settling on Abu Hamour.

There are currently thousands of Baluchis living in the camp, some of whom have positions in Qatar's government and army but do not possess Qatari citizenship.

[12] The Qatari government provides the residents with building materials, although many of the structures do not meet regulations and contain illegal modifications.

In the early 20th century, the wholesale market was located in the Al Jasrah area of Doha in what is presently Souq Waqif.

Municipal officials plan to convert the now defunct Abu Hamour Central Market into a commercial complex.
