Al Anbar Governorate

Al Anbar extends across 138,579 square kilometers of desert terrain, featuring undulating surfaces, small hills, and valleys with elevations from 250 to 800 meters.

The region served as a military center during the Sassanian period, protecting the capital Madain from Roman attacks through its strategic western position.

The Dulaim tribe represents the main population group in the governorate, maintaining traditional Sunni Muslim practices and speaking Arabic as their primary language.

Agricultural activities in the province concentrate near the Euphrates River, where farmers cultivate wheat, potatoes, barley, and vegetables using water from wells and springs.

The area contains substantial reserves of natural resources, including phosphates, iron deposits, and natural gas fields distributed throughout the territory.
