Minṭaqah (Arabic: منطقة‎‎ [ˈmintˤaqa]; plural مناطق manāṭiq [maˈnaːtˤiq]) is a term for a first-level administrative division in Saudi Arabia and Chad and for a second-level administrative division in several other Arab countries. It is often translated as region or district, but the literal meaning is "region" or "area".

Usage

  • Regions of Bahrain (formerly, top-level, replaced by governorates)
  • Regions of Oman (formerly, top-level, alongside governorates, now only governorates)
  • Regions of Chad (top-level)
  • Regions of Saudi Arabia (top-level, above governorates)
  • Districts of Syria (second-level, below governorates) - A mintaqah in Syria was formerly called qadaa.
