Along with the Tigris, it provided much of the water that supported the development of ancient Mesopotamian culture. The Tigris Euphrates valley was the birthplace of the ancient civilizations of Assyria, Babylonian, and Sumer. In northern Iraq the Euphrates forms the western boundary of the area known as Al Jazirah.
