Al Bidda (Arabic: البدع) is a neighborhood of Doha, Qatar. During the 19th century it was the largest town in Qatar, before Doha, an offshoot of Al Bidda, grew in prominence. Al Bidda was incorporated as a district in the Doha municipality in the late 20th century.
Qatar's Amiri Diwan has been based in Al Bidda since 1915, after being converted from an abandoned Ottoman fort.
