Ar-Raqqah (English spelling)
The capital of the Raqqa Governorate in northeastern Syria. It is located about 180 km east of Aleppo, on the left bank of the Euphrates River. It thrived as a commercial city above the ancient Greek and Roman city, and during the Abbasid period played an important role as a frontier base headquarters for the Byzantine Empire in the west. Today, the outer edge of the old city is a small commercial center, and is a junction of roads connecting the four directions. Population: 130,000 (1992 estimate).
