Jeri Al Samir (Arabic: جري السمر‎; also spelled Jeri Al Sammar and Jeri Al Samur) is a village in the municipality of Umm Salal in Qatar. It is located in the central-southern part of the municipality near the border with Al Rayyan Municipality.[1]

Etymology

"Jeri" originates from the Arabic word "qeri", which is a term used to describe an area where water aggregates and facilitates the growth of various vegetation. The second part of the village's name, "Samir", is the name of a prominent man who used to reside here.[1]

Infrastructure

In 2015, the Ministry of Economy and Trade announced that it would be commencing the development of a logistics center in the village at a cost of QR 331 million.[2] The area was selected because of its strategic location near the Orbital Highway and because of relatively lower operation costs.[3] Once fully completed, the logistics center will host facilities for 21 companies in the fields of auto parts and machinery, food and beverages, warehousing and storage, and construction.[4]
