Al Egda (Arabic: العقدة; also spelled Al Oqda and Al Uqdah) is a district in Qatar located in the municipality of Al Khor. It is located on the outskirts of Al Khor City, the municipal seat, and is considered to be a district of the city. The hill Mashaf Al Egda is nearby to the south.[2]

The Arabic word oqda is roughly translated to "hold on to" in English. As the area is a rawda (depression), it would collect and retain vast amounts of water and sediments during rainy season, hence its name.[2]
