Iraq |
|
Iraq, also known as Mesopotamia, is a country in Western Asia
spanning most of the northwestern end of the Zagros mountain range, the
eastern part of the Syrian Desert and the northern part of the Arabian
Desert. Iraq shares borders with Jordan to the west, Syria to the
northwest, Turkey to the north, Iran to the east, and Kuwait and Saudi
Arabia to the south. Iraq has a narrow section of coastline measuring
58 km (35 miles) between Umm Qasr and Al Faw on the Persian Gulf. The
capital city, Baghdad (Arabic: بغداد
Baġdād), is in the center-east of the country. Two major
flowing rivers: the Tigris and Euphrates run through the centre of Iraq
from north to south. These provide Iraq with agriculturally capable land
and contrast with the steppe and desert landscape that covers most of
Western Asia
