Wadi Al-Seer or Wadi as-Seer (Arabic: وادي السير, meaning "Valley of the Orchards") is a valley (wadi) west of Amman, which gave its name to one of the twenty-two districts of the Greater Amman Municipality in Jordan. It is said to have taken its name from a prehistoric queen that ruled the area, Queen Seer. The district consists of ten neighborhoods, some of which are residential, others commercial or mixed.
