The Khabur River is a significant waterway in the Middle East, primarily flowing through Syria and Iraq. It is a tributary of the Euphrates River and plays a crucial role in the region's agriculture and ecology. The river originates in the Turkish mountains and travels approximately 400 kilometers before joining the Euphrates. The Khabur River basin supports various communities and wildlife, providing essential irrigation for crops. Its waters are vital for local farmers, especially in arid areas where water resources are limited. The river's historical importance also ties it to ancient civilizations that flourished along its banks.
