Iraq, Country in Middle East, Asia.
Iraq extends over 437,072 square kilometers between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, with landscapes ranging from desert to fertile plains.
The region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers formed ancient Mesopotamia, where the Sumerian civilization developed writing systems and early cities.
Modern Iraq contains numerous archaeological sites from ancient civilizations, including the remains of Babylon, Ur, Nineveh, and Ctesiphon.
Most Iraqi cities connect through a network of highways, with Baghdad International Airport serving as the primary gateway for international travelers.
The Marsh Arabs maintain their traditional lifestyle in the restored wetlands of southern Iraq, living in reed houses and navigating by wooden boats.
