Hajīn

Hajīn is a small yet historically significant city in eastern Syria, nestled along the banks of the Euphrates River. As the administrative center of a subdistrict in the Deir ez-Zor Governorate, it offers a glimpse into the region's rich cultural heritage and tribal influences, particularly from the prominent al-Shaitat tribe. The city has witnessed significant historical events, including its capture by the Islamic State in 2014 and subsequent liberation by the Syrian Democratic Forces in 2018. Today, it is part of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, offering a unique blend of history and modern governance.
