Etymology

edit
 
Overview of Umm Salal Mohammed from one of the Barzan Towers

The first word of Umm Salal is Arabic for "mother", while salal refers to large rocks or stones. Hence, the area's name translates literally to "mother of rocks". It was named for the numerous rock formations found in the area.[2]

History

edit

As a municipality, Umm Salal was established in 1972, alongside Qatar's 4 other initial municipalities.[3] On 29 November 1974, the municipal headquarters was inaugurated under the supervision of Mohammad bin Jaber Al Thani, a former minister of the Municipality and Urban Planning, alongside Abdulaziz Al-Ghanem, who was Umm Salal's municipal council representative.[4]

Abdullah bin Ahmed Al Thani served as the first head of the municipal council.[4] As of 2017, Rashid Ahmed Al-Kaabi is the mayor of Umm Salal Municipality.[5]

Geography

edit

Umm Salal shares land borders with Doha to the southeast, Al Rayyan to the south, Al-Shahaniya to the west, Al Khor to the north, and Al Daayen to the east. It does not have a coastline.[6] Occupying roughly 2.7% of Qatar's territory, the municipality is relatively small in size. Its landscape consists of many open spaces and rock formations.

The northern portion of the municipality is largely agricultural due to the presence of a large aquifer, and it accommodates a number of small villages and farms.[7] Saina Al-Humaidi, at a distance of 5 km north of Umm Salal Ali, is the main urban settlement located in the north. Government land grants have expanded the boundaries of Saina Al-Humaidi in recent years, and it is being developed as a residential center for the nearby rural communities.[8]

In the municipality's southern portion, Umm Salal Mohammed constitutes part of the Doha Metropolitan Area. Slightly to the north is Umm Salal Ali, which is also considered to be within the Doha Metropolitan Area's boundaries, albeit to a much lesser extent. These two towns have fueled a large part of the municipality's southern growth.[7]

Umm Salal's eastern and western segments are divided by the path of the national utilities corridor. Desert mainly dominates the western section, and it has few settlements. The eastern section is highly urbanized and is adjacent to Al Shamal Road.[7]

According to the Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME), the municipality accommodates 21 rawdas, 10 wadis, 20 jeris (places where water flows), and three hills.[9]

Administrative divisions

edit

The municipality is divided into one zone which is then divided into 355 blocks.[10]

A vast majority of the municipality's inhabitants work outside the municipality.[13]

Retail

Qatar's largest mall, Doha Festival City, was partially opened in Umm Salal Mohammed[14] in April 2017. Valued at QR 6.4 billion, the mall will eventually have 540 retail stores covering an area of 244,000 square meters.[15] IKEA was the first store to be commissioned in Doha Festival City, opening its doors in March 2013.[14]

Heavy industries

edit

In recent years, heavy industry companies have set up in or relocated from Doha Industrial Area to Umm Salal. Factors that account for this pattern involve the finer condition of the roads, fewer transportation costs and more affordable renting of industrial buildings. It was reported that several metal fabrication and steelworks factories were being planned in 2016.[16]

Logistics

Agriculture plays an important role in Umm Salal's rural areas. Roughly 11% of Qatar's total farmland was found in Umm Salal in 2015, ranking third of Qatar's seven municipalities. There were 161 farms spread over 5,044 hectares, with roughly half (80) being involved in growing crops and the other half (78) being split between crops and livestock.[21] The municipality had a livestock inventory of 41,870, the majority of which were sheep (23,607).[22]

The majority of farms are concentrated to the east of Umm Salal Ali and in the north near Saina Al-Humaidi.[23] Al Sulaiteen Agricultural Complex is headquartered in Umm Salal Ali. Consisting of 40 hectares of cultivable land owned by Abdullah Salem al-Sulaiteen, up to 300 tonnes of fresh produce is shipped from the farm annually. Desalination plants are also located onsite.[24]

Celebration Highway is the other major highway in Umm Salal, and connects to Dukhan Highway as well as to Al Rayyan Municipality. Public transport is poor and characterized by a lack of bus services and bus stops.[25]

In the future, Doha Metro's Green Line will connect Doha to Umm Salal via rail. Tram stations will be located in Al Kharaitiyat, Umm Salal Mohammed, and Umm Salal Ali, the latter station being the northernmost extension of the rail network in the municipality.[26]

One of the Barzan Towers in Umm Salal Mohammed

Barzan Towers are located in Umm Salal Mohammed. The towers were built in the late 19th century[42] and were renovated by Sheikh Mohammed bin Jassim Al Thani in the early 20th century to serve as guard posts for water sources and to observe the new moon during Ramadan.[43] A third major fort can also be found in the municipality: the former palace of Jassim bin Muhammed bin Jassim Al Thani.[7]

The grave of another member of the royal family and a former governor, Ahmed bin Muhammed Al Thani, is also a notable attraction located in the municipality.[4]

A division of Umm Salal Mohammed is being sectioned off as a heritage quarter. This quarter will feature traditional Qatari architecture and neighborhoods (known as 'fareej'), and will have safeguards in place to ensure they are preserved in their original state.[44]

Parks

edit

Overall, five parks are located in the municipality as of June 2018.[45] In December 2014,[46] municipal authorities unveiled Umm Salal Park near Barzan Towers in Umm Salal Mohammed.[45] The park will serve the entire central region of Umm Salal. Spread over an area of 12,272 square meters, Umm Salal Park is equipped with a footpath, children's play area, landscaped plants, a cafeteria, and a prayer area.[47] During the same period, a park south of Umm Salal Mohammed in Al Kharaitiyat was opened.
