Ain Al Nuaman (Arabic:عين النعمان,romanized: ‘Ain An Nu‘mān) is a village in north-westQatar, in themunicipality ofAsh Shamal. It is roughly 91 km (57 mi) away from the capitalDoha, and is close to the ruins ofZubarah. Largely an agricultural settlement, the area is characterized by its large concentration of farms and gardens, with little else in the way of public infrastructure.[1] According to the Ministry of Environment, there were about six households in the village in 2014.[2]
Named after a local well, the first constituent of the village's name, "ain", refers to a natural source of water inArabic. The second part, "Nuaman" was the family name of the individual who built the well which supplied water to the village.[3] Another variant of the name isAin Al Noman.
Based on field work carried out by anthropologists in Qatar in the 1950s, the main tribe in the area of Al Suwaihliya were theAl Ramzan branch of theNa'im tribe.[4]
The condition of the roads in the village is poor. Currently, only a one-lane road runs through the village center and does not have adequate lighting. There is also a marked absence of commercial establishments in the village.[1]
Constructed in 1946, the Al Nuaman Mosque is considered a local historical landmark and has undergone preservation efforts byQatar Museums.[5]
