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.
The Tigris River does not flow through the ancient city of Babylon itself, but it is located nearby. Babylon, situated in modern-day Iraq, is close to the banks of the Euphrates River, which runs parallel to the Tigris. Both rivers were crucial to the development of Mesopotamian civilization, providing water and fertile land. The Tigris lies to the east of Babylon, while the Euphrates is to the west.
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).
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.
