Al-Saydiya

Al-Saydiya (Arabic: السيدية) is a neighborhood in the Al Rashid district of southwestern Baghdad, Iraq.

A once middle-class district, much of Al-Saydiya was built within the last three decades on prime real estate between Baghdad Airport Road and the main highway where it forks into central Baghdad and south to Basra.

As of 2015, Al-Saydiya remains mostly as a Muslim-Christian neighborhood, boosted by population from many Iraqi Governorates.

The most famous school in the district is "Al Saydiya Highschool for Boys".

The most famous part of Al Saydiya is its very popular commercial street (Arabic: الشارع التجاري) that is split into two eastern and western parts, the street is home to many shops that sell clothes, jewelry, makeup and food.
