Ath Thaqab (Arabic: الثغب) is an abandoned village in Qatar, located in the municipality of Ash Shamal, approximately 110 km away from the capital Doha.
Lorimer's Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf, it is stated that in 1908, Ath Thaqab accommodated a well from which the inhabitants of the nearby settlement of Al Khuwayr would fetch their water.
[4] In the early 20th century, the Bedouins of the Naim tribe living in the region of Zubarah were involved in conflicts with the Al Thani who ruled Qatar.
In July 1937, Sheikh Abdullah Al Thani reported to the British agency that he was to take action against the Naim tribe who were residing in Ath Thaqab over their perceived violation of the country's laws.
[7] After the Naim had conceded defeat, Abdullah Al Thani confiscated most of their weapons, including 40 rifles from the people of Ath Thaqab, and some of their livestock.
