Tarijibar is a city in Emmiria. It is located on the southern coast of Emmiria along the Emmiria Sea and the Tarijar Strait. Tarijibar is the 10th-most populous city in the country with 824,000 inhabitants. The city serves as a major port along the crucial Albarine Sea-Cantalle Ocean corridor shipping routes and contributes greatly to the nation's economy. It also hosts Emmirian Navy and Emmirian Air Force contingents to patrol the southern coast of the country and protect shipping lanes from piracy based out of Zalluabed and Qolaysia.

Flanked by the nearby world renowned Mount Faheem, an active stratovolcano and the third-tallest peak in Emmiria, the city also enjoys warm year-round temperatures and a thriving beach-driven tourism industry. The city has weathered earthquakes and volcanic eruptions through its nearly 1400 year history. A major eruption and lava flow from nearby Mount Faheem nearly swamped the city in 1662 and it suffered severe devastation from the 1681 Tarijabar earthquake. Tarijabar was one of Emmiria's most important cultural, artistic and political centers before the establishment of the Islamic Republic. It was the site of Emmiria's first university, University of Tarijabar, founded in 1434. Today, Tarijabar is an industrial, logistical, and commercial center of Emmiria.
