Bu Sidra (Arabic: بوسدرة; also spelled Abu Sidra) is a district in Qatar, located in the municipality of Al Rayyan.[3][4]

Etymology
The first part of the district's name, "abu", translates to "father" and is used as a prefix for geographical features. "Sidra" is a reference to the sidr tree (Ziziphus nummularia) which grows abundantly in the area.[4]
