Al Khalis
(重定向自Khalis)
Al Khalis, (Khalis or Al Khales) (Arabic:الخالص), is a town roughly 15 kilometers (9 mi) northwest of Baqubah in one of the six districts of the Diyala Governorate. In the Arabic language, Al Khalis translates to the word pure. However, the name and the word hark back to the imperial Caliphate, Persian and Ottoman times when "Khalisa" stood for "exclusive", meaning the royal land/royal property exclusive to the royal house.
