Birkat Al Awamer (Arabic: بركة العوامر{{lrm) is a district in Qatar located in the municipality of Al Wakrah.[2] [3] Manateq Qatar established the Birkat Al Awamer Logistics Park in the district, which spans an area of 9,381,885 m2.[4]
Nearby settlements include Al Afja Mesaieed and Mesaieed to the east and Abu Sulba to the north, and Umm Al Houl to the northeast.[3]
The first part of the district's name is derived from the Arabic term "birka", which in Qatar is used to describe a depression that holds water. The second constituent, "Awamer", is the name of a local Arab tribe that settled the area.[3]
