Khawr Abd Allah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Khawr Abd Allah (Arabic: خور عبد الله‎) is today an estuary, but once was the point where the great Euphrates and Tigris rivers emptied into the Persian Gulf. Located in the south of Iraq, the Iraq-Kuwaiti border divides the lower portion of the estuary, but adjacent to the port of Umm Qasr the estuary becomes wholly Iraqi. The Shatt al-Arab is now the point where the great rivers drain out, east of the Khawr Abd Allah.
