Arabic term

نوع الملك: ميري

Arabic to English Social Sciences Real Estate
The context is an extract from the Palestinian land registry.

The document describes a particular piece of land, its size, who owns it, etc.

It also describes the "نوع الملك" as "ميري".

Any idea what this could mean?

Thank you all--for both the answer and an informative discussion! The closest thing I can think of in English would be an "indefinite leasehold from the state".

Yes that seems right. Here are three more links, the first two are Wikipedia, but the third shows the term was used in a book put out by the University of Chicago.

These links could be helpful, but I am not sure what it would be called exactly in English.
