History.
In order to capitalize on Al Khulaifat's close proximity to the Doha International Airport, one of Qatar's first and most important hotels was constructed in the district in 1965 under the name Oasis Hotel. This hotel would serve as the quarters of international diplomats and members of government during their visits to Doha. It thus played an important role in facilitating Qatar's earliest relations with foreign powers. Additionally, the Beach Club and the Doha Sailing Association had their headquarters behind the hotel, on the waterfront. At the time of Qatar's independence in 1971, Oasis Hotel was one of the country's two hotels and the Doha Sailing Club was one of the two main clubs whose membership consisted mainly of Western expats. In the later 20th century, these two clubs relocated outside the district, and in the early 2000s, the Oasis Hotel was closed.
