Key Facts

Al-Qādisiyyah is a governorate located in central-southern Iraq, positioned approximately 180 kilometers south of Baghdad. This administrative region covers an area of about 8,153 square kilometers and serves as an important agricultural and historical center within the country. The governorate takes its name from the historic Battle of al-Qādisiyyah, a significant 7th-century conflict between the Rashidun Caliphate and the Sassanian Empire. Geographically, Al-Qādisiyyah lies within the fertile Mesopotamian Plain, with the Euphrates River flowing through its territory, providing essential water resources for its extensive farming activities. The governorate is administratively divided into four districts: Al Diwaniyah (the capital), Afak, Al-Shamiya, and Al Hamza, which collectively contain numerous sub-districts and villages. With a population of approximately 1.3 million people, Al-Qādisiyyah maintains a predominantly agricultural economy, specializing in date palm cultivation, cereal crops, and various fruits. The region's strategic location along major transportation routes has historically made it an important crossroads between southern and central Iraq.
