alMahally

alMahally is a fictional city in the imagined nation of Nadiria. It serves as the capital of the Al-Qadir Province and as a regional hub for commerce, culture, and governance.

Located on the banks of the Daria River valley, alMahally covers roughly 60 square kilometers. The climate is arid with a short rainy season; irrigation from canal networks supports agriculture in surrounding areas.

The city traces its origins to a medieval trading post established along caravan routes. It grew during the early modern period as a market town serving caravans and migrant workers.

As of 2023, the city hosts around 120,000 residents. The population is diverse, with Arabic-speaking communities forming the majority and minority groups contributing to a urban cultural mix.

Major sectors include date palm cultivation, textile crafts, small-scale manufacturing, and services. The alMahally International Market draws traders from nearby regions; a modest regional airport connects the city.

Cultural life centers on the Al-Mahally Fort, the weekly souk, and annual Lantern Festival. The city hosts educational institutions such as the Mahally Institute of Technology and a local university campus.

Administratively, alMahally is governed by a municipal council led by a mayor and supported by provincial authorities.
