Jariyan Al Batnah (; also spelled Jariyan Al Butna) is a village and former municipality of Qatar. Its territory was split between the municipalities of Al Wakrah and Al Rayyan in 2004.[2] All of Jariyan Al Batnah's districts recorded in the 2004 census – Al Karaana, Rawdat Rashed, Sawda Natheel, and Abu Samra[3] – were distributed to the municipality of Al Rayyan thereafter.[4] The village of Jariyan Al Batnah was also shifted to within Al Rayyan's boundaries, in Zone 83.[5]

The Persian Gulf bordered Jariyan Al Batnah in its west and its southeast. It used to be the only municipality to border foreign territory: Saudi Arabia's Ash Sharqiyah province.

Etymology

The word 'jeriyan' is the plural of 'jeri', which itself is derived from the Arabic word 'qeri', meaning a place where water flows freely and which accommodates a variety of plant life. 'Batnah' originates from the local term 'batn', which translates to 'inside of'. This name was given on account of the village being built in a depression surrounded by jeris.[5]

History

In 1986, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs opened a municipal office in Jariyan Al Batnah.[6]
