YES. The fertile soil in the eastern half of the Fertile Crescent came from the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers. However, the fertile soil in the western half of the Fertile Crescent came the Jordan River and the several small streams that coalesce to form it.

Disadvantages of the Tigris and Euphrates river?

Boats got upstream by being towed by teams of slaves trudging along the banks.
