Amara is the capital of Misan Province in southern Iraq, located on the east bank of the Tigris River, and is one of the major agricultural and trade centers of Iraq. The city has a long history, with settlements forming as early as the Ottoman Empire, and grew in the early 20th century due to its strategic location. The fertile land around Amarah produces dates, wheat and rice, and the Tigris River facilitates local fishing and shipping. As a Shia Muslim neighborhood, Amarah has a strong religious and cultural scene, with vibrant traditional crafts and bazaars. Despite the war, the city has gradually recovered in recent years, with improving infrastructure and livelihood conditions, and is one of the cities with development potential in southern Iraq.
