context_page_description: Mesaieed Industrial Area is an industrial area in Al Wakrah Municipality in the State of Qatar, approximately 40 kilometres south of Doha. It is a locality of the city of Mesaieed and was previously a designated district of Mesaieed Municipality before the municipality was merged with Al Wakrah Municipality.
  Both Mesaieed and its industrial area are administered by a subdivision of Qatar Petroleum called "Mesaieed Industry City Management", which was established in 1996.
context_section_description: An airstrip was constructed in the 1950s, but it went out of commission during the 1960s.
  In its initial years, Mesaieed had imported its machinery through the port of Zekreet. During the 1950s and 1960s, a port was developed in Mesaieed.
  Currently, there are two metro stations under construction in the Mesaieed Industrial Area. Both are elevated, were launched in Phase 2B and will be part of Doha Metro's Red Line South. They are located in the Mesaieed Light Industries area and the Mesaieed Heavy Industries area, respectively.
