Al Aaliya Island (Arabic: جزيرة العالية‎, romanized: Jazīrat ‘Alya) is an island located off the coast of the municipality of Al Daayen in Qatar, north of The Pearl.[1]

It is a small, low-lying island, of a brown colour, with a little peak at its east end, lying 3½ miles north of Al Safliya Island; it is visible 6 or 7 miles.[2] Between these two islands is the artificial island of The Pearl, which was built in the late 2000s.[3] In the past its eastern peak was useful as a mark entering the Al Bidda harbour.[2]
