Al Rekayya (Arabic: الركية, romanized: Ar Rukayyah; also spelled Irkaya) is an agricultural district in southern Qatar, located in the municipality of Al Rayyan.[2] It is close to the border with Al Wakrah Municipality.[3]

The farm spanned 1,200 hectares, had an inventory of roughly 2,400 cattle and primarily grew forage crops such as alfalfa and clover.[5]
