Diyala Governorate, Administrative region in northern Iraq.
Saladin Governorate extends across 24,363 square kilometers of terrain north of Baghdad, containing eight districts and multiple archaeological sites along the Tigris River.
The territory separated from Baghdad Governorate in 1976, establishing its own administrative boundaries with Tikrit as the designated capital city.
The region reflects a mix of Arabic and Kurdish influences through its architecture, languages, and social practices present in cities like Samarra and Tikrit.
Regular transportation services connect the main districts of Saladin, including Al-Daur, Al-Shirqat, Baiji, Balad, Samarra, Tikrit, Tooz, and Dujail.
Ancient Assyrian ruins in Al-Shirqat District preserve the remains of the historical city of Assur, while Samarra features the spiral Malwiya minaret.
