Etymology

"Abu" in Arabic means "father", being used in this context as a prefix for a prominent feature. The second constituent, "qararis", translates to "insect bites"; it attained this name as a result of high propensity of mosquitoes that would bite people who wandered through this area.[1]

Infrastructure

An annual falconry championship has been held in Abu Al Qararis since 2013 by the Al Thakhira Youth Center.[2] The annual Qatari Heritage Festival is also held in Abu Al Qararis. Activities at the festival include theatrical performances and educational workshops on birds, particularly falcons.[3]
