Jabal Thuaileb ({{langx|ar|جبل ثعيلب|Jabal Thu‘aylib|Fox Hills}}){{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HKnhDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA208|title=The Report: Qatar 2015|publisher=Oxford Business Group|page=208|date=22 April 2015}} is a Qatari district in the municipality of Al Daayen.

After a cabinet resolution was passed in 2002, Jabal Thuaileb became the one of three districts in Qatar where foreigners could own real estate.{{cite web|url=https://www.tamimi.com/law-update-articles/owning-property-in-qatar-options-for-foreign-investors/|title=Owning Property in Qatar: Options for Foreign Investors|publisher=Tamimi & Co.|author=Murad Sawalha|date=March 2017|accessdate=11 July 2018}}
Etymology
The "jabal" portion of the district's name means "hill" or "mountain" or in Arabic. "Thuaileb" is derived from the Arabic word "thaalab", which translates to "fox" in English. It was so named due to the presence of a prominent hill and the habitation of foxes in the area.{{cite web|url=http://geoportal.gisqatar.org.qa/qmape/index.html|title=District map|publisher=The Centre for Geographic Information Systems of Qatar|accessdate=21 May 2018|archive-date=24 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201124143437/https://geoportal.gisqatar.org.qa/qmape/index.html|url-status=dead}}
Infrastructure
Jabal Thuaileb is closely tied to the planned city of Lusail, which has been undergoing massive construction projects since the 21st century. In 2006, it was first revealed that Qatari Diar would commence large-scale construction in both Lusail and Jabal Thuaileb as part of the Lusail Development Project.{{cite web|url=https://alqabas.com/191636/|title=‘ جبل ثعيلب’ و7 أبراج.. .. جديد المشاريع العمرانية في قطر|publisher=Al Qabas|language=Arabic|date=30 April 2006|accessdate=21 May 2018}} It was announced in 2013 that it would receive its first inhabitants for its under-development residential complexes in 2014.{{cite web|url=https://www.al-sharq.com/news/details/188040|title=منطقة "جبل ثعيلب" بمدينة لوسيل تستقبل سكانها العام المقبل|publisher=Al Sharq|language=Arabic|date=11 December 2013|accessdate=21 May 2018}}{{Dead link|date=February 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
In 2015, the community was said to accommodate 9,200 apartments ranging from 5 to 7 stories, with all buildings comprising roughly 2 million square meters of Jebel Thuaileb's 1.8 square kilometer area. Many of the buildings were constructed with traditional architectural elements in order to represent Qatari heritage. Most major infrastructure projects for electricity, water and streets were completed the same year.{{cite web|url=https://www.alarab.qa/story/453599/%D9%84%D9%88%D8%B3%D9%8A%D9%84-%D8%AA%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%86-%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%AA%D9%87%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8%D9%86%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%AD%D8%AA%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D9%81%D9%8A-%D8%AC%D8%A8%D9%84-%D8%AB%D8%B9%D9%8A%D9%84%D8%A8|title="لوسيل" تعلن انتهاء البنية التحتية في جبل ثعيلب|publisher=Al Arab|language=Arabic|date=31 January 2015|accessdate=21 May 2018|archive-date=1 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190401175510/https://www.alarab.qa/story/453599/%D9%84%D9%88%D8%B3%D9%8A%D9%84-%D8%AA%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%86-%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%AA%D9%87%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8%D9%86%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%AD%D8%AA%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D9%81%D9%8A-%D8%AC%D8%A8%D9%84-%D8%AB%D8%B9%D9%8A%D9%84%D8%A8|url-status=dead}}
