West Bay Lagoon, also known as Leqtaifiya (Arabic: لقطيفية; also spelled as Legtaifiyah, Legtaifiya or Al Qutaifiya) is a district of Doha, the capital city of Qatar. Spanning from the Doha Corniche to West Bay Lagoon, the area has villas on one side, and low rises on the other. The district is well known for its luxurious waterfront villas, which are some of the most expensive in the country. It is one of the few freehold areas in Doha where non-Qataris can purchase property.
Together with Onaiza and Al Qassar, it makes up Zone 66 which has a total population of 22,024.
