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.

“I Strongly recommend Hayder as a guide for Iraq proper and Kurdistan as well if you would like. He took me from Baghdad to Basra back up to Mosul and into Kurdistan. You are better starting in Central Iraq then going to Kurdistan as you cannot early cross the land border the other way.”
