Al Huwaila

Al Huwaila is not a factory brand from outside Qatar. It is the name of the shop itself: Al Huwaila Hunting Equipment Company in Souq Waqif, Doha. So if you see the name written on a piece inside the site, it means the shop chose that stock itself, imported it and put it out under its own name, not that it is carrying it for another brand.

The goods that carry this name are the everyday desert things: the double sided mats in their colours, turquoise and yellow, maroon and yellow, blue and yellow, water jerricans in different sizes, and the rest of the trip gear. You will find them in the camping section, some 97 items in all, set out beside the international brands the shop sells.

The reason for buying them is simple: these are tools that get used a lot and get replaced from one season to the next, so what matters is that you find the colour and the size you want when you need it, and that you can ask the shop about them directly in Souq Waqif or on WhatsApp, without waiting for something coming in from outside the country.
