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