Send Flowers to Al Shamal, Qatar

Al Shamal means the north, and it is the name of the northernmost municipality of Qatar, about a hundred kilometres from Doha. Its main town, Madinat ash Shamal, sits beside the old port of Al Ruwais, where dhows still tie up. This is the quietest corner of the country, a landscape of low coast, fishing villages and abandoned settlements, with the fort and archaeological site of Al Zubarah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on the north-west shore.

Most residents are Qatari families and public-sector employees, with a smaller expatriate community of teachers, health workers and technicians. For flower delivery in Al Shamal, give the name of the town or village, the zone, street and building numbers from the blue plate, and a mobile number that will be answered, since homes are villas behind walls rather than buildings with a reception.

Orders received before midnight Qatar time are delivered the next delivery day, Saturday to Thursday, by a florist who arranges the flowers by hand. There are no Friday deliveries, and dates can be booked up to about three months ahead.
