Rusafa

Al Rusafa (Arabic: الرصافة) or Rasafa is the eastern side of Baghdad, Iraq, or the eastern shore of the river Tigris. It is also one of nine administrative districts in Baghdad. When referring to Al Rusafa as a district, it refers to the older area in the Rasafa side of Baghdad; its central commercial area, a center of markets considered one of the four old CBDs of Baghdad (Karkh, Rasafa, A'dhamyya and Kadhmyya).

The west side of the river is Al Karkh (الكرخ).
