Abu Hamour is a popular residential district located in southern Doha. It is a great location for families as it is the location of numerous schools, supermarkets, eateries, health centers, and more.

It is also known as the “Old Wholesale Market District” in Doha, as it was once the home to various wholesale shops and fresh produce markets. Most of these shops have since been moved to Umm Salal Central Market.
