Where does the Tigris empty into?

In southern Iraq the Tigris River is joined by the River Euphrates. They run together as a single river roughly 120 miles (193 km), and empty into the Persian Gulf. The Iraqis call this confluence of rivers by the Arabic name, Shatt al-Arab, "Coast/Beach of the Arabs." The Iranians call it by the middle Persian name for the Tigris River, Arvand Rud, or "Swift River."Both great Middle East rivers begin on their own far north in the modern-day country of Turkey. The lower nearly half of the joined rivers, the last 50 miles or so, forms the border between the modern-day countries of Iraq and Iran (formerly Persia), down to the river mouth, where it empties into the gulf.The huge fertile delta between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, long known as Mesopotamia, literally means "between the rivers." In Greek, meso is "middle, between" and potam- is the prefix form of "river." Some of the world's oldest civilizations established in Mesopotamia thousands of years ago, and this region in Southwest Asia is also called, The Cradle of Civilization.
