Hasakeh is one of the biggest Syrian Muhafazet in area. It is the
most important source of wheat and oil. It is difficult for researchers to know the oldest
history of this Muhafazet because the excavations have not finished yet and it is believed
that the Khabour valley was within Sourbatu kingdom which extended from Ailaam city to
Toros mountains in the third millennium B.C.
Monasteries and temples were erected in the seventh century A.D. During the Abbassite era, Ras Al-Ain
became an important center for the trade convoys between Baghdad and Raqqa. Khadour is the
main river in the Muhafazet it springs from Turkey and Syria. The place includes a number
of sites which are worthy to become tourist destinations due to the numerous mineral
springs and historical hills such as Tal Al-Khweira which is located between Khabour and
Bliekh rivers in the midway between Ras Al-Ain and Tal Abyadh near the northern Syrian
border. An Assyrian city was discovered with its history going back to the third
millennium B.C. A huge double wall was discovered since the beginning of excavation works
in the form of a circle. In the eastern part of the wall, lies a huge temple and a number
of buildings. Along Street appears near the remains of a huge temple with a long plate
going back to the Arcadian era in the third millennium B.C.
