Muraikh (Arabic: مريخ) is a district of Al Rayyan City in the municipality of Al Rayyan in Qatar.[3]

Etymology

The district derives its name from "markh" (Leptadenia pyrotechnica), the local term used for a tree that grows abundantly in the area.[4]

History

In 1908, J.G. Lorimer documented Muraikh in the Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf, giving its location as "9 miles west by south of Dohah". He mentioned the presence of a masonry well, 2 fathoms deep, which yielded good water.[5]

Administration

When free elections of the Central Municipal Council first took place in Qatar during 1999,[6] Muraikh was designated the constituency seat of constituency no. 16.[7] It would remain constituency seat in the next three consecutive elections until the fifth municipal elections in 2015, when it was made part of constituency no. 5.[8] In the inaugural municipal elections in 1999, Nasser Fallah Al Dosari won the elections, receiving 40.4%, or 201 votes. Trailing behind Al Dosari was Ali Salem Al Suwaidi, who attained 34.5%, or 172 votes.[7] Salem Mohammed Al Nabat won the 2002 elections.[9] In the third municipal elections in 2007, Mohammed Salem Al Qamra was elected constituency representative.[10] Al Qamra successfully retained his seat in the 2011 elections.[11]
