From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Al Egla (Arabic: العقلة) is a Qatari district whose management is split between the municipality of Al Daayen and the municipality of Doha.[3] It adjoins the area of the planned city of Lusail.[4]
Rather than traditional neighborhoods, Al Egla consists of two large gated compounds: Al Egla Gardens and Golf Gardens.[5]
