Day Tour Mesopotamian Marshes (Al-Ahwar)
The Mesopotamian Marshes is a huge swampy wetland complex in the Tigris-Euphrates river system. The Marshlands are perhaps one of the most fascinating places in Iraq.
The Mesopotamian Marshes are located in the southern part of Iraq on the floodplains of two historical rivers, the Euphrates and Tigris rivers.
Explore the Hammar Marshes in the Al-Chibayish District.
The Mesopotamian Marshes are gradually and slowly recovering from when Sadaam Hussein drained the wetlands of Iraq in 1991 to punish the Marsh Arabs for participating in the 1991 Iraqi uprisings against him.

“Wrapping up a seasoning Iraq on the way to the Iranian border via a pretty, empty, and sunny road. Ibraheem and his family were a lucky charm. Shout out to this amazing guy for making Iraq the most wholesome experience I’ve ever had. I knew it would be amazing but I wasn’t expecting THAT MUCH! Ready for the next!”
