Euphrates river / Erida city [below Ur, as shown in the map] (Mesopotamia)
Formed by the
confluence of the Karasu and
Murat rivers in the
Armenian Highland, the Euphrates descends between major ranges of the
Taurus Mountains to the Syrian plateau. It then flows through western and central Iraq to unite with the Tigris River and continues, as
Shatt Al-Arab, to the
Persian Gulf. Its valley was heavily irrigated in ancient times, and many great cities, some of whose ruins remain, lined its banks. (source : britannica.com)
