To reach the Central Marshes, you can travel from Nasiriyah by car or with a local driver, covering a distance of over 80 km. Early departure and same-day return are typical for day trips. Alternatively, you can access from Chibayish (Dhi Qar) by car then boat, which is a traditional marsh entry point. Activities in the Central Marshes include boat rides through reed channels, visiting reed guesthouses (mudhif), birdwatching, photography, and quiet, reflective experiences. Boat tours typically last 2-3 hours depending on water levels. It's recommended to check road conditions and water levels before departure.\n\nFor more: Central Marshes (https://visit-iraq.com/en/places/central-marshes-heart-of-the-marshland-ecosystem)
