Mesaimeer () is a district in the municipality of Al Rayyan, Qatar. Located south-west of Doha, it shares borders with the Doha Industrial Area to the east, Umm Al Seneem, Abu Hamour and Al Mamoura to the north-west, Al Thumama to the east, and Wadi Aba Saleel and Jery Musabbeh to the south-east.
==Etymology== The district derives its name from the Arabic word musmar, meaning "nail". Regionally, the term musmar is used to describe dark-colored jagged stones with heads that resemble nails. As these stones are found abundantly in the area, it was decided that its name would reflect this feature.
