I remembered the name of the person in charge at the Municipal/agricultural place near Muntaza traffic light. His name was Mr Ahmed Sourour. Very nice - good english.

Yes there is the nursery at Shahania (halfway to Dukhan) This is just before the shahania round about on the right. Go thru a gate(watchman) & drive thru to the green houses at the back.

Then there are the nurseries just off Salwa road. See direction above. But if you want to have a good supply for little money you should contact the department of Agriculture. They used to be behind the park at Muntaza gardens in the curved building. They are very nice, will provide you with plants and you can even arrange a visit with them for your class. They really are into promoting a Green Qatar.

I have not been to either place for a long time and hope the directions are still valid.

Good luck.

This reminds me of the thread "U know u've been in the Middle East too long..." and one of them was "U know u've been in the ME for too long when u start using landmarks and not streets for directions" lol.

"Don't know either novi, but I was there!!!!

You pass Education City, and just drive stright for about 20 mins, it is a very big farm with lots of greenhouses.

I am pretty sure it was called Shahania.

It is on the right side of the road."

----> probably we come from different direction??? lol...

to make things easy for you, better check on the nurseries near central veggie market.

If you know Salwa road. Coming from industrial area towards Doha. After Central Vegetable market roundabout, take the second exit on ur right hand side (sure cannot go left). That's just after Bukanan furniture showroom. Keep going straight and you will find some 10 plant nurseries along that street.

Kelly ...

I think you probably right ... those days when we just arrived in Doha 6 yrs ago, we always goes there at least twice a month to buy plants (my husband like gardening) ... I think the landmark supposed to be like a big fort building on the left and the farm on the right.

Since when Shahaniya got on Duhail road??? Duhail is on Shamal road which is towards north and shahniya is on Dukhan road which is west after Rayyan.

the al shahaniya nursery on the way to Dukhan Road ... it is a good place to get from if you buy in the big bulk. But last time we went to Dukhan we cant find the entrance of the nursery because of the road works.
