Lehsiniya (Arabic: لحصين; also spelled Al Hassaniya) is a village in Qatar located in the municipality of Al-Shahaniya. It lies close to the eastern border with Al Rayyan Municipality.[1]
The name "Lehsiniya" originates from the Arabic word "hassan", which translates to "beautiful". It earned this name because of the abundant vegetation found in the area.[1]
To the south of the village is a shooting range for the Qatar Amiri Guard.[2] A large farm is also maintained in the area.[1]
