Leabaib (Arabic: لعبيب, romanized: Li'abaīb) is a village in Qatar, located in the municipality of Al Daayen.[2] It is currently under-development as a mixed-use hub for southern Al Daayen, particularly for residential districts such as Jeryan Nejaima, Al Nuwaimi, and for residences located near Arab League Street.[3]
Geography
[edit]Located in the southwest corner of Al Daayen, Leabaib borders Umm Salal municipality to the west, the Duhail district of Doha to the south and Al Ebb to the north.[4]
Healthcare
[edit]In December 2015, a primary healthcare center was opened in the village. Several public clinics are located within the center, such as a vaccination clinic, dental clinic and radiology clinic.[5]
Visitor attractions
[edit]A 4,376 sq meter family park is located in Leabib. Several local trees such as palm trees and neems are planted in the park.[6]
Development
[edit]The Qatar National Master Plan (QNMP) is described as a "spatial representation of the Qatar National Vision 2030".[7] As part of the QNMP's Urban Centre plan, which aims to implement development strategies in 28 central hubs that will serve their surrounding communities, Leabaib has been designated a District Centre, which is the lowest designation.[8]
Al Daayen municipality is developing Leabaib as a major mixed use center for the municipality's southern sector. Its close proximity to Duhail and the headquarters of Al-Duhail SC will be capitalized on by developing more residential units and government offices in the village. Currently, it is typified by low-density villas, several mosques, three schools, a civic center and a health center. Future plans will see the construction of additional housing so that it may accommodate as many as 30,000 residents.[9]
As the nearest metro station will be 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) west of the district's borders, plans are being drawn up to improve public transportation and the road system. Mid-height buildings will be located in the south of the District Centre. Furthermore, new parks and green spaces are expected to be created.[3]
