Al-Arish () is an abandoned village in Qatar, in the municipality of Al Shamal. It lies one mile south-west of the coastal village of Al Khuwayr.
Arish is an Arabic term that refers to "palm trees"; it was named so after palm trees growing in the area which shaded the entire village.
Al Arish was among the villages occupied by Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani's forces in July 1937 during the 1937 QatariâÂÂBahraini conflict, in which he led a military expedition against the Al Jabor faction of the Al Naim tribe of Zubarah and its supporters, whom he considered to be defectors to Bahrain.
To the south-west is Sabkhat Al-Arish, a sabkha (a type of salt-flat) whose elevation is close to sea level. Due to the high level of salinity, few trees grow there.
Inaugurated in 1975 with a power production capacity of 8.5 megawatts, the Al Arish Power Station was constructed to serve as an energy source for Qatar's northern area.
