I see your point. In fact, I even tried to search for KARADA vs. KARARA (in Latin letters), and found both in Baghdad! The references to KARADA are by far more numerous than KARARA (36,000 vs. 191 in Google). KARADA seems to be a wealthy neighborhood, based on the following:

"We are the first people who know when an explosion happens. We know before all the satellite channels," says Antwan, taking a break from work in his open-fronted glass shop on an unpaved side street in Baghdad's wealthy Karada district. Home to many of the capital's elite, Karada is a favorite target for insurgents.
However, since I am not a native of Baghdad, I will withdraw my answer with apologies for confusing you.

Thank you for your help. I will go for Karara.
This is confusing.
That's why I asked for a native Iraqi's help. The one who lives there can perfectly answer this.
