As Salatah (Arabic: السلطة; also known as Old Al Salata) is a district in Qatar, located in the municipality of Doha. It is primarily a commercial district located near Hamad International Airport. In the 1970s, as part of a master plan for Doha prepared by Llewelyn Davies, the whole district was redeveloped in a push to modernize the cityscape. The Civil Aviation Authority and the National Museum of Qatar are located in the district.
