Each nāḥiyah is subdivided in urban areas into municipalities called baladiyah (Arabic: بلدية; pl. بلديات baladiyat) and in rural areas into village councils called majlis al-qarya (Arabic: مجلس القرية; pl. مجالس القرى majaalis al-quraa).

Autonomous republics
The two autonomous republics, Asabiya and Diyafa, were established as first-level administrative divisions, and are recognized by the latest revision of the constitution, adopted in 1990.

- The self-governing city of Khayzuran, which is the entity's capital;
Districts called minţaqah; - Municipalities called baladiyah.
