Old Al Ghanim (Arabic: الغانم العتيق, romanized: Al-Ghānim at-'Tīq) is a neighborhood of the Qatari capital Doha, located in the municipality of Doha. It forms a part of Doha's historic downtown. A notable landmark was the New World Centre, a supermarket established in 1987. It has since been relocated. Numerous other local businesses have also been relocated to other parts of Doha by the Ministry of Municipality and Environment so it could carry out massive-scale reconstruction of the neighborhood and clear out portions to make way for the Doha Metro. The Al Ghanim Central Bus station is another important landmark found here.
