Al Khuwayr is a settlement in Qatar, located in the municipality of Ash Shamal.
Al Khuwayr was previously known as Khor Hassan, literally meaning 'beautiful inlet'. In the late 18th century, Rahmah ibn Jabir al-Jalahimah settled Al Khuwayr. It served as his base of operations against the Al Khalifa in Bahrain. Rahmah's base in Al Khuwayr was surrounded by a protected bay which rendered the area a conceivably difficult target for his enemies. He resided in a fort with mud walls and there were only a few huts in the vicinity.
J.G. Lorimer's Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf gives an account of Al Khuwayr in 1908:
The settlement's first formal school was opened in 1957.
M.C.:
I know what you're thinking
You wonder why I chose her
Out of all the ladies in the world
That's just a first impression
What good's a first impression
If you knew her like I do,
It would change your point of view-
If you could see her
If you could see her thru my eyes,
You wouldn't wonder at all.
If you could see her thru my eyes,
I guarantee you would fall
(Like I did)
When we're in public together,
I hear society moan,
But if they could see her thru my eyes,
Maybe they'd leave us alone.
How can I speak of her virtues?
I don't know where to begin.
She's clever, she's smart, she reads music,
She doesn't smoke or drink gin.
(Like I do)
Yet when we're walking together,
They sneer if I'm holding her hand,
But if they could see her thru my eyes,
Maybe they'd all understand...
Why don't they leave us alone?
(Spoken)
Ladies and Gentlemen, I ask you,
Is there a crime to fall in love?
Can one ever choose where our heats lead us?
All we as is 'Ein bißchen Verständnis', a little understanding!
(Sung)
Oh, I understand your objection,
I grant my problem's not small;
But if you could see her thru my eyes,
