Al Masrouhiya (Arabic: المسروحية) is a village in Qatar, located in the municipality of Al Daayen.[2]

Etymology[]

The village derives its name from the Arabic term 'saraha', which roughly translates to "allow to wander in search of forage". As the site of a large rawdat (depression), rainfall would accumulate in the rawdat, facilitating plant growth. These plants would then be grazed upon by the goats of nomadic herdsman passing through the area.[3]
