Al Rehayya (ar|الرحية|Ar Ruḩayyah) is a village in Qatar located in the municipality of Al Daayen.[3] [4]
Nearby settlements include Al Heedan in Al Khor Municipality to the north, Umm Swayya in Al Khor Municipality to the west, and Tenbek to the south.[4]
The village's name derives from the Arabic word "rehi", meaning "millstone". It received its name from a large, prominent rock in the village that looks similar to a millstone.[4]
