Siffin
(Redirected from Siffin region)
Ṣiffīn (Arabic:صِفّین) is an area in the west of al-Raqqa (the left bank of Euphrates River in the north of Syria). This area is located between al-Raqqa and Balis; the Battle of Siffin occurred in this area.[1]
According to the contemporary archaeologists' research, Siffin is now at the same place as Abu Hurayra village, which is in the west of al-Thawra city and approximately 55 km west of al-Raqqa.[2]
