3-bedroom properties are those that have three allocated bedrooms. They are sometimes referred to as 3 bhk, meaning 3 bedrooms, a hall and a kitchen. This type of property would suit a small family. There are 3-bedroom properties advertised as having a separate office or maid/driver room (sometimes listed as a 3+1BR), some have their own attached bathroom too which would mean that the property technically has 4 bedrooms. It is advisable to check the facilities being offered and also the layout of the property as some agents do not always list all the amenities fully. It is also best to view any properties that interest you in person as there are many aspects of the home that you can gauge better when you visit the property.
Approximately 80% of all 3-bedroom properties available for rent in Qatar are apartments in an apartment block or tower. The remaining 20% of 3-bedroom homes for rent are villas, penthouses, townhouses, or serviced apartments in a residential block or hotel.
Al Waab is a district in the Al Rayyan municipality situated close to Doha. The Arabic word "*waab"* means "vast area that accommodates things" and was named as such due to the fact that the suburb consists of a large, fertile plain where small shrubs and plants grow in abundance. It is located 10 kilometres from Doha's city centre and is very close to the Aspire Zone with its large park, open spaces, renowned Khalifa Stadium, the Doha Torch and Villaggio Mall.
Gated compounds are very common in Al Waab and it is one of the most sought-after areas by families looking for villas to rent due to its location and large number of international schools nearby. The area is well connected for both road and public transport. The Al Waab Street runs along the north border of the district and the busy Salwa Road (Q5) with its vast array of commercial and retail units along the south border. The area is well served by several bus routes and also the Gold Line of the Doha Metro. Due to the popularity of the location, the area is home to a massive real estate development project Al Waab City, a planned city divided into three sections: the Northern District, the Central District and the Southern District. It is designed to accommodate over 8000 people and consists of villas, apartment buildings, townhouses, recreational facilities, parks, landscaped walkways, office buildings, a spa, a hotel, restaurants and boutiques.
