About Maysan

Maysan province is home to part of the famous Mesopotamian Marshes, one of the world's largest wetland ecosystems. The region has been inhabited by the Marsh Arabs (Ma'dan) for thousands of years, who developed a unique culture adapted to life in the marshlands. Amarah, the capital, serves as the gateway to this unique ecosystem.
