Old Al Ghanim (Arabic: الغانم العتيق, romanized: Al-Ghānim at-'Tīq) is a neighborhood of the Qatari capital Doha, located in the municipality of Ad Dawhah. It forms a part of Doha's historic downtown.[1] A notable landmark was the New World Centre, a supermarket established in 1987.[1] It has since been relocated.[2] Numerous other local businesses have also been relocated to other parts of Doha by the Ministry of Municipality and Environment so it could carry out massive-scale reconstruction of the neighborhood and clear out portions to make way for the Doha Metro.[1] The Al Ghanim Central Bus station is another important landmark found here.
Indian healthcare company Aster DM Healthcare opened a clinic in Old Al Ghanim in October 2014.[3]
