Dahl Al Hamam (Arabic: دحل الحمام, romanized: Daḩl al Ḩammām) is a Qatari district located in the municipality of Doha.[2][3]

Together with Madinat Khalifa North, which it is adjacent to in the south-west, it makes up Zone 32 which has a population of 12,364.[2]

In Arabic, dahl translates to "cavern". The second constituent, hamam, translates to "pigeon". The district earned its name from a prominent cavern, presently found in Dahl Al Hamam Park, in which pigeons frequently laid their eggs.[3]
