Yusufiyah (Arabic: يُوسُفِيَّة, romanized: Yūsufīyah) is an abandoned village in Qatar located in the municipality of Al Shamal.

[3] This theory is disputed by the Al Mannai tribe, who claim that the name was chosen after a settlement in their ancestral homeland, Iraq.

[4] Carsten Niebuhr, an 18th-century German explorer who visited the Arabian Peninsula, created one of the first maps to depict the settlements of Qatar in 1765 in which Yusufiyah was among the few included.

In it he states:[5] Ul Yusvee (Al Yusufiyah) and Roes (Ruwais) are two villages to the west of Ras Rekkan (Rakkan), the inhabitants of which had latterly removed to Bahrein.

Yusvee has a square Ghurry and fresh water.In the 1820s, George Barnes Brucks was tasked with preparing the first British survey of the Persian Gulf.
