Al-Thawrah (Arabic: ٱلثَّوْرَة, romanized: aṯ-Ṯawrah), also known as Al-Tabqah (Arabic: ٱلطَّبْقَة, romanized: aṭ-Ṭabqah, also aṭ-Ṭabaqah),[1] is a city in Raqqa Governorate, Syria, approximately 55 kilometres (34 mi) west of Raqqa. Al-Tabqah was the original name the settlement, which up until the 1960s had been relatively small.[2] The name "al-Thawrah" literally means "The Revolution", in reference to the Baathist March 8th revolution in 1963.[3] The Tabqa Dam and Lake Assad on the Euphrates, an important energy source for Syria, are near al-Thawrah.[4] The city had a population of 69,425 as of the 2004 census.[5] It is part of the Tabqa Region of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria.[3]
