Mebaireek (Arabic: مبيريك) is a settlement in Qatar, located in the municipality of Al Rayyan. [3] It was formalized as one of Al Rayyan's ten administrative zones in the mid-2000s as a result of a merger between the two census-designated districts of Abu Nakhla and Al Mukaynis.[4] Al Mukaynis, which is known for Mudhlem Cave,[5] is still in Zone 81 with Mebaireek whereas Abu Nakhla has moved to Al-Shahaniya Municipality.
