Rabia is the name of a small Iraqi border crossing town between Iraq and Syria on the road between Qamishli, Syria and Mosul, Iraq. The border crossing was closed during the Iraq troop surge operation in 2007. It opened again in June 2009 after increased security in Western Ninewa Province.
The city's primary economic sector is illegal smuggling, though there are legitimate freight and human migration between Syria to Iraq. Migrants are scanned using retina scanning technology.
In August 2003, Syria inaugurated the Rabia railway station. It was announced that there would be two goods' trains a week, with a passenger service to follow. As of October 2009, the passenger train arrives at the Rabiyah station on Wednesday afternoons in the direction of Damascus and on Saturday mornings in the direction of Mosul. [1] The standard gauge railway line from Rabia is linked to Baghdad via Mosul.
