Middle Eastern city in Doha, I fancy (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

haifa

'middle eastern city' is the definition.
(city in Israel)

'in doha i fancy' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'HAIFA' is hidden within 'doha i fancy'.

(Other definitions for haifa that I've seen before include "Israel's main port" , "Middle East city" , "Chief port of Israel" , "Israeli city" , "Seaport in Israel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
