FounFo Middle East
Shahaniyah
 
This city’s distinguishing factor lies in its wildlife!

Usually, when people think of the Middle East, the first thing they think of is the camel.

If these mammals intrigue you, then you’ll definitely be doing yourself a favor in stopping by Shahaniya, as you could either observe them naturally living and breeding in the desert, or competing in this city’s developed and well cared-for camel race track. Another thrill that some people enjoy is driving alongside the tracks while the camels race.

Shahaniyah Wildlife
 
Shahaniya Airways If you have ever noticed the logo on the tail of Qatar Airways, the antler of the Oryx, then you can safely say you’ve been exposed to part of Qatar’s hallmark animal. Once an endangered animal, the Oryx now lives and breeds on protective farms in Shahaniya. It is a beautiful white antelope with antlers used for self defense. It is believed that the Oryx is the “basis of the legend of the unicorn.”
 

Besides its wealth in wildlife, Shahaniya is also known for its multi-sports club, the Al-Shahaniya Sports Club.
