Ukbara

Ukbara (عكبرا) was a medieval city on the left bank of the Tigris between Samarra and Baghdad. The Tigris has changed course since, and its ruins now lie some distance from the river.

Not to be confused with the Palestinian village of Akbara (spelled identically in Arabic), destroyed in 1948.
