The Babylon Empire was located along the Euphrates river.
Euphrates River
Babylon was the capital of a small city state of Mesopotamia, named Babylonia, located in what is now Iraq, near the modern town of Hilla and on the eastern bank of the Euphrates river.
The ruins of the city once called Babylon is currently just west of Al Hillah in Iraq. Some of the ruins of the city are now covered up by military coalition structures from the 2003 war in Iraq. Historically Babylon was located in Mesopotamia.
Babylon was located on the major trade route between the Tigris River and the Euphrates River.
No. The area has been uninhabited for over 500 years. Across the River, however, is the city of Hillah which is the modern capital of the province of Babil (where Babylon is located).
In mesopotamia
When Babylon was occupied it was on the Euphrates river, the river has since changed course and is now a short distance away from the ruins of Babylon.
The city of Babylon was located in what is now Iraq, 55 miles south of Baghdad, on the Euphrates River. The area was very fertile at that time, not the desert that it is now.
