Al Egla (Arabic: العقلة) is a Qatari district whose management is split between the municipality of Al Daayen and the municipality of Doha. It adjoins the area of the planned city of Lusail.
Rather than traditional neighborhoods, Al Egla consists of two large gated compounds: Al Egla Gardens and Golf Gardens.
