Sulaiman Bek (Arabic: سليمان بيك), also spelled as Sulayman Beg[1][2] is a town in Saladin Governorate, Iraq, located some 170 km (105 mi) north of Baghdad.[3]
The town is majority Sunni Arab.[4][5][6] Among the tribes present are the Al-Nuaim, Jubur, Bani Az, Albu Salih, Khazraj, and Al-Bayat tribes. The village of Hafriya is situated nearby.[7]
