Rawdat Al ʽAjuz (Arabic: رَوْضَة اَلْعَجُوز, romanized: Rawḑat al ʽAjūz) is a rural district in Qatar, located in the municipality of Umm Salal.
[1][2] In Arabic, "rawda" refers to a depression that holds water and is rich in vegetation.
According to local tradition, the area was named for an elderly woman who owned a farm as well as a herd of cattle, all of which perished in one day during a severe cold spell.
Lorimer mentioned the area in his 1908 manuscript of the Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf.
He described it as a Bedouin camping ground containing a well that lies "13 miles south-west from Khor Shaqiq and 10 from the east coast".
