Al-Qādisiyyah Governorate

Al-Qādisiyyah covers a substantial area of southern Iraq, containing both urban centers and agricultural lands across the Mesopotamian terrain.

The province gained prominence during the Battle of al-Qādisiyah in 636 CE, marking a decisive victory of Arab-Muslim forces over the Sassanid Empire.

The University of Al-Qadisiyah serves as an educational center, offering programs in medicine, pharmacy, agriculture, and literature to students from surrounding regions.

The governorate maintains direct transportation connections to Baghdad through a network of highways that facilitate commerce and regional movement.

The Mesopotamian marsh of Hor Aldelmj within the province provides a distinct ecological environment featuring local wildlife and traditional water communities.
