Fuwayrit (Arabic: فويرط; also spelled as Fuwairat) is a Qatari coastal village in the municipality of Ash Shamal approximately 90 km north of the capital Doha.

A man named Ali bin Amr Al Attiyah was present during Khalfan's appeal and promised to lend his aid on account of a tribal alliance.

Captain Lowe responded to the letter by requesting Mohammed bin Khalifa to refrain from hostilities at sea, and warned that any vessels found being used for war would be seized.

After proclaiming victory, Mohammed bin Khalifa sent his warships to attack and demolish Al Bidda, and relocated most of its inhabitants to Bahrain.

[14] This was a defining point in Qatar's history, as Isa bin Tarif's death left a gap in the peninsula's leadership which was to be filled by the Al Thani family.

At about 4 miles north of this place, a small village with several towers has been established by people from Wakra, and called Al Ghariyah.

A small village with several towers, called ar Riyat, now stands about 2 miles north of Fuwairit and just to northward of the sand hills.

Lorimer's Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf in the early 20th century: A village on the east side of Qatar promontory about 10 miles from its northern extremity.

Immediately to the north of it is a hill called Jabal-al-Fuwairat, separating it from the site of the now deserted village of Ghariyah, which is also on the coast; according to another account, however, the Jabal is merely a vertical cliff 30 feet high, against the foot of which the sea breaks.

The population of Fuwairat consists of about 100 houses of the Al Bu Kuwarah [Kuwari] tribe and 50 of Kibisah [Qubaisi]: these communities are divided from one another by a well marked street and form a southern and northern quarter respectively.

It is possible that Fuwayrit, like many other settlements in Al Shamal during the mid-1900s, experienced significant population outflow due to upper aquifer salinization resulting from the overuse of diesel-powered water pumps.

Nonetheless, once Qatar had begun reaping profits from its oil extraction activities, many northern settlements became repopulated as it had become feasible to transport water over longer distances.

[20] From January to February 2016, the Origins of Doha Project, being assisted by Qatar Museums, surveyed Fuwayrit and made a comprehensive list of all of its historic buildings which dated back to the 20th century.

[21] Aerial photography indicates that the new settlement of Fuwayrit, called Safya, has expanded considerably in the 21st century, particularly along the coast and towards Al Marroona.

The mosque's rectangular structure features a distinct minaret, used for calling believers to prayer and potentially serving defensive purposes, being distinguished by its cylindrical design with five balconies.

The reconstruction also paid attention to details such as the pavement leading to the main door, crafted using 20th-century techniques reminiscent of traditional Qatari architecture.

This sabkha branches out into a narrow channel that marks the northern extremity of the original town, and the beginning of a rocky upland to its immediate north.

[31] Therefore, the village formed a trade relationship with the nearby settlements of Al `Adhbah, Filiha, and Ain Sinan in which it would receive freshwater in exchange for sea goods.

[32] Fuwayrit's residents also visited an area 1.5 km inland called Zarqa, which they used as a source of farmland, freshwater and protection.

While the purpose of this structure is unknown, it is speculated that it was constructed sometime in the 20th century to help accumulate rain water and surface run-off from the jebel.

[37] During the sea turtle breeding season (late Spring and early Summer), the Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME) closes the beach to visitors and periodically patrols the area.

[22] Jebel Fuwayrit is a low, rocky hill formed by wind-blown deposits and is believed to date back to the end of the Late Pleistocene period.

In 2022, Hilton Worldwide opened the 50-key Fuwairit Kite Beach Resort, a part of the Tapestry Collection brand, which specifically caters to kiteboarders.
