Al Rayyan University (previously Stenden University Qatar) is a private university located in Bin Omran, Doha, Qatar. It was established in 2000 as the first private university in Qatar, originally operating as a joint venture between Al Rayyan International Education and Stenden University of Applied Sciences from the Netherlands. The campus is situated on Al-Jeleait Street near Castle Gardens in Doha.
