Diyanah is the capital of the Diyanah Governorate in southeastern Iraq, located in the foothills of the Zagros Mountains on the border between Iraq and Iran, and is a key border city and trade hub between the two countries. Dating back to the ancient Mesopotamian civilization, the historic city is a blend of Arab, Kurdish and Persian cultures, rich in historical sites and diverse religious traditions. As a major Shia Muslim settlement, Diyanah has a strong religious atmosphere, with mosques and madrassas located throughout the city. The local economy is based on border trade, agriculture (e.g., grains, fruits) and traditional handicrafts (e.g., carpets, pottery), and has been gradually revitalized in recent years.
