J.G. Lorimer's Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf gives an account of the city of Al Daayen in 1908:
A village on the eastern coast of Qatar about 20 miles north of Doha. It is closely connected with the village of Simaisma, which is distant from it only about 1 mile westwards. Dha'ain consists of about 150 houses, mostly of Al Bu Kuwarah [Kuwari] with some of Hamaidat and a few of Madhahakah. About 70 pearl boats belong to the place, besides 10 trading vessels and 10 fishing boats. Transport animals are 10 horses and 60 camels. Drinking water is from 'Awainat Bin-Husain, 6 miles inland.
