The Ahwar of Southern Iraq
Southern Iraq, Iraq
The Ahwar of Southern Iraq, also known as the Iraqi Marshlands, is a vast wetland region in southern Iraq formed by the waters of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
This unique landscape combines rich biodiversity with some of the world’s earliest centres of civilization, including the ancient Sumerian cities of Ur, Uruk, and Eridu. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2016, the Ahwar is valued both as a refuge for wildlife and as a cultural landscape that played a crucial role in the development of early urban societies, writing, and monumental architecture in Mesopotamia.
