Ar-Ruʼays, also spelled Al Ruwais, is a port town in the municipality of Al Shamal in Qatar. It is located on the northern tip of Qatar, approximately 127 km (79 mi) north of the capital Doha. Before the country's economic landscape was transformed from oil extraction, Al Ruwais was one of the most important fishing centers on the peninsula.
The town is best known for Al Ruwais Port, the second-most important port in Qatar.
Ar Ru'ays translates to 'small head' in Arabic. It was so named because the town juts out into the sea relative to the land surrounding it.
In the 1820s, George Barnes Brucks carried out the first British survey of the Persian Gulf. He recorded the following notes about Al Ruwais, which he referred to as Rooes:
Al Ruwais' coastal area is a popular destination due to its lush vegetation. In recent years, the Ministry of Municipality and Environment have embarked on campaigns to restore the mangroves that grow abundantly on its coast. Roughly 13 hectares of coastal mangroves are found in Al Ruwais.
