Al Waab Farm

Al Waab Farm is a Qatari horse breeding farm located approximately 70 km north of Doha. It is owned by Sheikh Abdulla Bin Khalid Bin Hamad Al Thani and is dedicated to the breeding, preservation, and promotion of the Straight Egyptian Arabian horse, a rare breed that constitutes less than 4% of the global Arabian horse population. The farm's breeding program is managed by Sheikh Ahmed Bin Abdulla Bin Khalid Al Thani. The farm's name, "Al Waab," translates to "the Lowlands" in English. Its logo is inspired by an ancient Samr tree that thrived in the desert, symbolizing the land's potential. The property is described as a desert oasis with lush green pastures, plants, trees, and lakes, and it serves as a sanctuary for various species of wild animals and birdlife. Al Waab Farm stands stallions at public stud to approved mares, with the 2025/2026 breeding season opening on 14 October 2025. The stallions standing include Barraq El Aliya, Sinan Al Rayyan, Tajweed Al Waab, Fares Al Rayyan, DF Malik Jamil, and Qamar El Zaman Al Waab. The farm's mission is to inspire passion, educate, and spread awareness about the Straight Egyptian Arabian, ensuring the breed continues to grow in strength and beauty in Qatar and worldwide.

Al Waab Farm was founded approximately 13 years prior to the publication of its website content (circa 2012, based on the statement "founded just 13 years ago"). The farm is owned by Sheikh Abdulla Bin Khalid Bin Hamad Al Thani, who noticed an ancient Samr tree thriving in the desert and recognized the land's potential. This tree became the symbol of the farm and inspired its logo. A significant event in the farm's history occurred in 1995 when Sheikh Abdulla Bin Khalid Bin Hamad Al Thani purchased the stallion Ansata Halim Shah as a gift for HH Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani, the Amir of Qatar, for his Al Shaqab Stud. This purchase marked a historic moment in the importation of Straight Egyptian Arabians to Qatar. Over the years, Al Waab Farm has acquired and bred some of the world's best Straight Egyptian Arabians. The breeding program is now managed by Sheikh Ahmed Bin Abdulla Bin Khalid Al Thani, who shares his father's passion for the breed. The farm's mission is to preserve and spread awareness of the Straight Egyptian Arabian, which represents less than 4% of the total Arabian horse population. The farm stands several stallions at public stud, including Barraq El Aliya, Sinan Al Rayyan, Tajweed Al Waab, Fares Al Rayyan, DF Malik Jamil, and Qamar El Zaman Al Waab. The 2025/2026 breeding season opened on 14 October 2025, with services available to horses residing in Qatar only.
