🏢 Which Amer centres are in Ras Al Khor?

Names as GDRFA lists them (seen 15 October 2026). Amer centres trade under company names, not the word "Amer", so they can be hard to find on a map.

Names, locations, phones and pins: GDRFA centre pages. Landmarks, metro and parking below are approximate and come from the map pins or the centres' own listings, not from GDRFA.
