In the Union of Arab Republics (Arab Union), each of the 20 republics as well as the Kurdistan Autonomous Region are divided into a number of districts (Arabic: مناطق manāṭiq; sg. منطقة minṭaqah), which make up the first level of administrative divisions of each republic. Each district has its headquarters at the respective district's administrative centre, from where the district's administrative apparatus operates.
