Deir ez-Zor Governorate, Administrative division in eastern Syria
The Deir Ezzor Governorate extends across 33,060 square kilometers of territory divided by the Euphrates River into northern and southern sections.
The region experienced significant changes during the Syrian Civil War from 2011 to 2017, when various military forces fought for control of the territory.
The population consists primarily of Arab communities, with Sunni Muslims forming the majority and smaller groups of Shia Muslims and Christians.
The governorate contains three main administrative districts: Deir ez-Zor District, Abu Kamal District, and Mayadin District, each with multiple sub-districts.
The area ranks first in Syrian cotton production and third in wheat production, while also containing substantial oil and natural gas deposits.
