Baghdad is the capital and largest city of Iraq, home to approximately 8.5 million city residents and one of the most historically significant cities in human civilisation. It operates on Arabia Standard Time (AST, UTC+3), a fixed year-round offset. Baghdad was founded in 762 AD by Caliph Al-Mansur of the Abbasid Caliphate and quickly became the most populous city on Earth during the Islamic Golden Age (8th–13th centuries), when it was the world's leading centre of science, medicine, philosophy, mathematics, and trade. The House of Wisdom (Bayt al-Hikma) in Baghdad translated and preserved Greek, Persian, and Indian knowledge that would later spark the European Renaissance. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers, between which Baghdad sits, are the cradle of Mesopotamian civilisation — the world's earliest cities (Sumer, Babylon, Ur) arose in this region. Despite decades of conflict, Baghdad is undergoing significant reconstruction and remains a city of enormous cultural and strategic importance in the Middle East.
