Rawdat Rashed is a settlement in Qatar, located in the municipality of Al Rayyan.[1] It used to be part of the Jariyan al Batnah municipality before the municipality was incorporated into Al Rayyan.[2]

Rawdat Rashed Interchange, a 33 km road stretching through the city and connecting Dukhan and Doha, is known locally as the 'road of death' due to the large number of fatal accidents which occur on the road.[3] After announcing a redevelopment plan for the road in 2014, the Public Works Authority commenced redevelopment work in 2015.[4][3]
