Al Ghariyah is a settlement on the northeast coast of Qatar located in the municipality of Ash Shamal. It was founded in 1885 by settlers from the town of Al Wakrah. It was a site of contention between Qatari tribes allied with the Ottomans and sheikh Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani.〔 A number of ancient cup-marks and rock engravings were discovered in Al Ghariyah. ==History== Al Ghariyah was first settled in 1885 by a group of 100 members of the Al-Buainain and Al-Jehran tribes who had left the town of Al-Wakrah after a dispute with sheikh Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani. Al Ghariyah was almost immediately attacked by Jassim's troops. This, however, did not deter the town's growth. Mohammed bin Abdul Wahab, a brother in-law of Jassim, soon emerged the sheikh of the town. He came to lead the coalition formed to resist Jassim's rule, with the ultimate goal achieving independence for Al Ghariyah.〔 A meeting was soon summoned between Sheikh Jassim and Mohammed bin Abdul Wahab and the discussion was mediated by an Ottoman commander of an Al Bidda-situated gun boat. The Ottoman commander's proposal that the coalition be left alone infuriated Sheikh Jassim. This incited tribesmen loyal to Sheikh Jassim to attack Al Ghariyah, but they were defeated, with the Bani Hajr tribe suffering a few casualties.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=‘Persian Gulf Gazetteer. Part 1.

Although the inhabitants of Doha protested against it, the Ottomans favored his suggestion.〔 In May 1885, out of a coalition of 50 Ottoman troops who arrived that month, 20 had been sent to protect Al Ghariyah. It was also reported that the Mutasarrıf of Al Hasa proclaimed Al Ghariyah to be Ottoman territory.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=‘Persian Gulf Gazetteer. Part 1. Historical and political materials.
