The Iraqi Marshlands (Ahwar) are vast wetlands in southern Iraq across Maysan, Dhi Qar, and Basra. They are a UNESCO Mixed World Heritage Site for their unique natural ecosystem and cultural heritage.
They are home to the Marsh Arabs and sit near the remnants of early cities like Uruk, Ur, and Eridu, connecting nature with ancient civilization. For more info: Iraqi Marshlands (Ahwar)
