[2] The name "Owaina" originated from the Arabic word "ain", which is the term used for a natural source of freshwater, and, in this case, was the name chosen for a nearby well after which the whole area derived its name from.

This cylindrical tower is topped by a long, conical roof, supported by six square columns forming a hexagonal shape.

A newer, more extensive residence extends from the southern courtyard wall, covering an area equivalent to the mosque's.

[2] The outer iwan opens to the courtyard through five rectangular entrances, built in a straightforward post and lintel style typical of many Qatari mosques from the 1940s.

Windows are located at both ends of the outer iwan on the north and south facade walls, with no evidence of badghirs above them.

The iwans' roof is traditionally constructed with danshil beams overlain with baszhil (bamboo) and mangharour (mats made of rattan branches) and coated with mud plaster.
