One of the first natural reserves established in Qatar in 1979 to breed the Arabian Oryx in captivity. It is 40 kilometer far from Doha and covers 1km area of land. The reserve started with a number of 25 Arabian Oryx along with some Reem gazelle, however the number increased with time.
The reserve was developed to be an administrative centre which includes all veterinary services and, at the same time, the reserve is considered a tourist resort that gives visitors the opportunity to have a close look at wild animals.
