Capital status
National capital of Iraq
Baghdad is the capital and largest city of Iraq, with a metropolitan population of roughly 7.2 million, making it one of the largest urban areas in the Arab world. The city observes Arabia Standard Time (AST, UTC+3) year-round and has not used daylight saving time since 2007, when Iraq abolished the practice to curb energy use. Founded in 762 CE by the Abbasid caliph al-Mansur as a planned round city on the Tigris River, Baghdad became the intellectual centre of the medieval Islamic world, home to the House of Wisdom. Today it is the seat of the Iraqi government and parliament and the country's dominant administrative, cultural, and economic hub, straddling the Tigris in the Mesopotamian heartland.
