Ar Rahaliyah (Arabic: الرحالية, or Rahhaliyah, Rahaliya) is an Iraqi town in Al-Anbar Governorate, near the western shore of Lake Milh.
In 1921 Rahaliya, along with Shithathah, was noted for its "immense" groves for palm date production.[1]
Archaeology[edit]
The Rahaliyah area is recognised for the remains of early Christian churches, some of which may have been erected as martyrions.[2]
