Mehairja (ar|محيرجة; also spelled Mehairqa) is a district in Qatar, located in the municipality of Al Rayyan.[3] [4]
In the 2015 census it was listed as a district of Zone 54, which has a population of 24,593 and also includes Baaya, Muraikh, Luaib, Fereej Al Soudan, and Fereej Al Amir.[3]
It borders Fereej Al Soudan to the east, Al Waab and Al Aziziya to the south, Muraikh and Luaib to the north and Baaya to the west.[4]
The district derives its name from the Arabic word "mahraqa", meaning "burnt". It was so named for its dark-colored soil and for the dark-colored leaves apparent on trees growing in the region which give the impression that its entire landscape had been charred in the past.[4]
