Urim (often transliterated as Ur) was an ancient Mesopotamian city-state located near the junction where the Tigris and Euphrates used to run into the Persian Gulf at the time. The modern Arabic name for the site is Tell el-Muqayyar which is located in the Dhi Qar Governorate of Iraq. Located just 8 miles (12 km) to the southwest of Urim was the ancient city of Eridu. Located 50 miles (80 km) to the northwest of Urim was the city of Uruk. The walled section of Urim covered about 61 hectares (Marc Van De Mieroop, The Ancient Mesopotamian City). The settlement was first established during the Ubaid period and was inhabited until it was abandoned sometime after 500 BCE. Urim had a diverse economy and was an important trade center for goods moving between Mesopotamia and the Persian Gulf.

The patron deity of Urim was the moon God Nanna. His temple there was the ékišnugal (House sending light to the earth). Urim also had a cult dedicated to Nanna's wife Ningal whose temple there was the agrunkug. Another popular cult at Urim was the cult of Ningišzida whose temple at Urim was called the énigina (House of Truth). The temple of Inanna located at Urim was called the édilmuna. During the Ur III period Ur-Nammu started the building of the Ziggurat which was completed under Šulgi. The Ziggurat at Ur and was called the étemennígùru "temple whose foundation creates radiance".
