Baghdad Al-Jadidah district after the flood in 1954

New Baghdad or Baghdad Al-Jidida (Arabic: بغداد الجديدة) is one of nine administrative districts in Baghdad, Iraq. This district has eight Neighborhood Advisory Councils (NAC) and a District Advisory Council. It is located east of the city center.[2][3] This district was renamed 9 Nissan or Tisa Nissan. Nissan is the word for April in the Babylonian calendar, although most Iraqis do not yet use that name (9 Nissan). It is also known as 7 Nissan.[4] This district is one of the main areas for food and shopping.
