Al Tarfa (Arabic: الطرفة, romanized: Aţ Ţarfah) is a district in Qatar, located in the municipality of Ad Dawhah.

Together with Jelaiah and Jeryan Nejaima, it makes up Zone 68 which has a total population of 5,521 as of 2015.

[3] Qatar University, the first institution of higher education established in the country, is based in the district.

[4] In local dialect, the word "tarfa" refers to Tamarix aphylla, a short, salt-tolerant tree with scale-like leaves frequently planted for ornamental purposes or used as a shelterbelt.

As the area is surrounded by a sabkha (salt flat), salinity levels are too high for most plants aside from Tamarix aphylla, which forms dense stands around the borders of the sabkha.
