Shatt-al-Arab

The Shatt-al-Arab River ( also called the Shatt-al-Arab waterway ) is formed by the merging of the Tigris River and Euphrates River in southern Iraq.

The Shatt-al-Arab is quite short and empties into the head of the Persian Gulf. The Shatt-al-Arab is has both Iraq and Iran on its banks, which has been a cause of much disagreement.

The city of Basra is located on the south bank of the Shatt-al-Arab.
