Al Qanatir is one of the oldest quarters in Ibra, with settlement said to reach back to the third millennium BC. The neighborhood takes its name from the many stone arches built at the entrance of its lanes, and its old stone houses are grouped into several small districts such as Kasham, Matrah and Al Maqtoura. At its heart stands Al Qanatir Mosque, first built in 1077 AH (1666 CE) and restored in 1409 AH (1989), once used to teach religious sciences and Arabic. The quarter still carries the quiet weight of its history, its narrow alleys and stone walls waiting for restoration.
