Al Jumail (Arabic: اَلْجُمَيْل) is an abandoned village inhabited by Alkubaisi tribe in north-east Qatar located in the municipality of Al Shamal.[3][4] It was an important town in the northern peninsula prior to the 21st century.
The town's name comes from the Arabic word "jameel", which means "beautiful"; a reference to the trees that grow in the area year-round.[4]
Various alternative transliterations of the name are used, such as Al Jemail, Al Jamil,[1]Lumail,[5] and Yamail.[6]
Historyedit
In the 1820s, George Barnes Brucks was tasked with preparing the first British survey of the Persian Gulf.[7] He documented Al Jumail in this survey, referring to it as "Yamale" and concisely stating that "Yamale, in lat. 26° 5' 40" N., long. 51° 14' E., is a small village."[8]
