The Sanjak of Sor ( Ottoman سنجاق زور, Turkish sancağı Zor or Deyr-i Zor Vilayeti ) was a Sanjak of the Ottoman Empire until 1917. It was in 1857 as an independent Sandzak from eyalet Baghdad split off and was around the year 1876 part of the vilayet of Aleppo .

The capital was Deir ez-Zor on the right bank of the Euphrates , which was the only important city of the Sanjak. At the beginning of the 20th century the Sanjak had a total area of ​​100,000 km² and an estimated population of 100,000 inhabitants, mostly Arab Bedouins - nomads , but also indigenous Armenians . The capital was a village before it was appointed the administrative center of the sanjak.

During the genocides of the Armenians and the Aramaeans, there were two concentration camps in Sanjak : the Deir ez-Zor concentration camp and the Resülayn concentration camp . The successor of the Sanjaks is today's Syrian governorate Deir ez-Zor .
