Al Wakrah Municipality (also spelled Al Wakra Municipality; Arabic: بلدية الوكرة Baladīyat al-Wakrah) is a municipality of Qatar bordered by the municipalities of Doha and Al Rayyan. The municipal seat is Al Wakrah city.

Etymology

The municipality was named after the city of Al Wakrah, which derives its name from the Arabic word "wakar", which roughly translates to "bird's nest". According to the Ministry of Municipality and Environment, this name was given in reference to a nearby hill which accommodated the nests of several birds.[2]

History

On 17 July 1972, the creation of the municipalities of Ar Rayyan, Al Wakrah, Al Khawr and Thakhira, Al Shamal, and Umm Salal were issued. This law identified Al Wakrah Municipality as a legal district.[3] The municipal board has a president and four members. The current president of the Municipal board is Mansour Ajran Al-Buainain.[4]

Geography

The southern end of Al Wakrah is characterized by dense sand sheets sand dunes. Unlike northern Qatar where most areas lie close to sea level, much of the southern and central portions of Al Wakrah are at elevations of 40 to 60 meters above sea level. Water is scarce in most areas as the water table is relatively low. Although there are some rawdas (depressions), they are rare when compared to northern Qatar. Furthermore, the southern groundwater is often saline. As a result, permanent settlements were few and far between, with some exceptions being found at Al Kharrara, Traina and Al Furayah north of Khor Al Adaid.[5]

Many nomadic camps were created in Al Wakrah's south in past times; these sites can often be identified by the presence of small, open mosques. It is likely that Bedouins visited the region mainly during times of suitable weather, such as the rainy season. Herdsman were able to nourish their camels with the saline water, which would, in turn, yield drinkable milk.[5]

According to the Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME), the municipality accommodates 192 rawdas, 13 wadis, four jeris (places where water flows), seven plains, 14 hills, four highlands, seven sabkhas, four bays, and three coral reefs. The only cape recorded here is Ras Al Maharef. Two islands are found off its shores: Sheraouh Island and Al Aszhat Island.[6] One of the most prominent of its hills is Jebel Al Wakrah, an 85feet high rocky hill located one mile south of the city of Al Wakrah.[7] The Naqiyan Hill Range dominates the southern quarter of the municipality in Khor Al Adaid.[8]

Protected areas

The UNESCO-recognized Khor Al Adaid is Qatar's largest nature reserve and is located on the south-east corner of the municipality.[9] Also known by its English name Inland Sea, the area was declared a nature reserve in 2007 and occupies an area of approximately 1,833 km2.[10] Historically, the area was used for camel grazing by nomads, and is still used for the same purpose to a lesser extent. Various flora and fauna are supported in its ecosystem, such as ospreys, dugongs and turtles. Most notable is the reserve's unique geographic features. The appearance and the quick formation of its sabkhas is distinct from any other system of sabkhas, as is the continuous infilling of its lagoon.[11]

The following is climate data for the city of Mesaieed, south of the capital Al Wakrah City.

Eleven pharmacies were recorded in the municipality in 2013 by Qatar's Supreme Council of Health.[19]

Economy

Mesaieed Industrial Area, an industry hub, is located in Al Wakrah Municipality.[20] Umm Al Houl, another industrial city located in the municipality which is near to Mesaieed, hosts Qatar's main seaport Hamad Port,[21] and is the site of construction for what will eventually be Qatar's largest electricity and desalination plant.[22] A third industrial area containing some of Qatar's most important power stations and desalination plants is Ras Abu Fontas.[23]

A 6.3 km2 "regional logistics hub" was launched in the southern portion of the municipality in 2016. The development of this hub will take place in Birkat Al Awamer and Aba Saleel, which are in close proximity to Hamad Port and Mesaieed Industrial Area. Among the facilities in this hub will be car workshops, labor camps, and commercial offices.[24] Construction of the hub will be managed by Qatari company Manateq.[25] The Doha Marketing and Services Company established a car stockyard in Birkat Al Awamer with a capacity of 1,700 cars in September 2016.[26]

Maritime industries such as fishing and pearling comprised the economic foundation of Al Wakrah's coastal settlement in the past.[27] Further inland, nomadic pastoralism dominated.[28] At present, agriculture plays only a minor role in Al Wakrah's economy. Farmland in Al Wakrah only accounted for 4.6% of Qatar's total farmland in 2015. There were 71 farms spread out over 2,188 hectares, with the majority (38) being used to grow crops, 3 being used to raise livestock and the remaining 30 being split between livestock and crops.[29] The municipality had a livestock inventory of 14,946, of which 8,375 were sheep and 6,093 were goats.[30]

In terms of artisanal fishing vessels, Al Wakrah city had the second-highest amount out of the major cities surveyed in 2015 at 179 vessels. However, its fleet has been significantly reduced from earlier years, for earlier in 2010 it had accommodated the most fishing vessels out of all cities surveyed with 237 vessels. The number of sailors was 1,186 in 2015, but this figure too had been decreasing over the years.[31]

Visitor attractions

Due to the unique ecosystem and landscape of Khor Al Adaid, it serves as one of the most important ecotourism site in the country.[35]

Sealine Beach Resort, located on the coast in Mesaieed, was the first tourist resort to be established in the country.[36] The resort has 37 rooms, 1 hectare of green space, a gym, a spa and 95 square meter multi-purpose hall.[37]
