The Mesopotamian Marshes in Iraq, often referred to as the Garden of Eden, are a lush and vibrant wetland system located in the southern part of the country. This unique ecosystem spans across three provinces: Maysan, Dhi Qar, and Basra. It is one of the world's most significant wetlands and the largest in the Middle East, providing a sanctuary for a diverse range of wildlife, including rare bird species like the Basra reed warbler and the sacred ibis. The marshes are a vital stopover for migratory birds and home to the indigenous Marsh Arabs, who maintain a distinctive way of life centered around the water. Traditionally, they live in floating reed houses and rely on fishing and water buffalo herding for sustenance. The marshes offer breathtaking scenery with their intertwining waterways, tranquil lagoons, and vast expanses of lush reeds, making them a remarkable destination for eco-tourists and nature enthusiasts.
