The Tigris river (1862 km long) originates from the Taurus Mountains in Eastern Turkey. The river then flows for 400 km through Turkish territory, before becoming the border between Syria and Iraq. This stretch of 44 km is the only part of the river that is located in Syria. The remaining 1418 km are entirely within the Iraqi borders.

The Tigris unites with the Euphrates near Basra, and from this junction to the Arabic (or Persian) Gulf the mass of moving water is known as the Shatt-al-Arab. The capital of Iraq, Baghdad, is located on the banks of the Tigris.

It is said that Tigris is one of the four rivers flowing from the Gardens of Eden.

a river in Iraq that flows through Baghdad.
