Al-Hasakah Governorate

The Al-Hasaka Governorate extends across 23,334 square kilometers of land, connecting Syria's borders with Turkey to the north and Iraq to the east.

The region developed from ancient trade routes into an agricultural center, with the Khabur River enabling settlement patterns dating back to Assyrian civilizations.

The population of 1.2 million residents includes Arabs, Kurds, Assyrians, and Armenians, each maintaining distinct traditions within their communities.

Four administrative districts divide the governorate, with local councils operating under appointed officials to manage regional development and public services.

The Khabur River system supports extensive agricultural operations throughout the governorate, making it a primary grain production region in Syria.
