Ras Albisha, Beach in Al-Faw, Iraq.
Ras Albisha stretches along the Persian Gulf coastline in southern Iraq, offering views across the waters near the Kuwait border.
The beach area near Al-Faw became a strategic point during the Iran-Iraq War, impacting the development of coastal infrastructure in the 1980s.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods passed down through generations, contributing to the maritime heritage of the Basra region.
Visitors can reach Ras Albisha by taking the coastal road from Basra city, with a journey time of approximately two hours by car.
The beach sits at the convergence point where the Shatt Al-Arab waterway meets the Persian Gulf, creating distinct water patterns.
