Qalat Sukkar (Qal`at es Sikar) (Arabic:قلعة سكر ) is a town in the Dhi Qar Governorate, Iraq, located on the Gharraf Canal.

Demographics

Qalat Sukkar has a population of 110,000.[2]

Location

Qalat Sukar is located on a ridge west of the Gharraf Canal (the old canal that the Sumerians dug up some 4000 years ago). Qalat Sukar is 6 km northeast of the remains of the ancient Sumerian city of Larsa.[3] A modern drainage canal separates Qalat Sukar from Larsa Tell.[3]

James Abbott Sauer and Khair Yassine, believe that because of the name, and the former marshlands in the area,[4] it is likely that Qalat Sukar was originally the site of a sugar mill,[5] constructed after sugarcane was introduced into the area in the ninth century.[6]

The nearest large city is An Nasiriyah, Iraq with a population of 587,000.

Airfield

During the Iraq War, the Qalat Sukkar Airfield was occupied by the US Marines and called

Camp Fenway.[7]
