- Summary: Drone footage shows merging of two great rivers in El-Kurna district of Iraq SHOTLIST BASRA, IRAQ (FEBRUARY 03, 2023) (AAVN - ACCESS ALL) 1. VARIOUS DRONE SHOTS OF SHATT AL ARAB RIVER AAVN SCRIPT Drone footage shows Shatt Al Arab river at El-Kurna district of Basra. The Euphrates river originating from Erzincan and the Tigris river originating from Hazar Lake in Türkiye's Elazıg provinces, provide life to the cities they pass through in Türkiye, Syria, and Iraq. Mesopotamia, which played host to ancient civilizations such as Sumer, Babylon, Assyria, Akkad, and Elam and is considered the starting point of the world's cultural civilization, lies between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which sustain Mesopotamia, flow throughout Iraq and converge in the El-Kurna district of Basra, almost like in a bathtub. From that spot, the river takes its name from the city it passes through.
