Karrada, Commercial district in Baghdad, Iraq

The northern part of Karrada extends along a peninsula created by the Tigris River, forming an area with valuable waterfront properties and commercial buildings.

The establishment of the University of Baghdad Campus in 1958 transformed Karrada into an educational center and influenced its development as an upper-class district.

The Inner Karrada contains numerous churches serving different Christian denominations, including Chaldeans, Assyrians, Melkite Greeks, and Armenian Catholics communities.

The district contains two main subdivisions, Nazaith and Masbah, with multiple transportation options connecting residents to other parts of Baghdad.

Karrada maintains a mixed population of Muslims and Christians, representing one of the two major Christian districts in Baghdad alongside Dora.
