explanation: With the Tigris river, the Euphrates is one of the 2 largest rivers in the middle east. It takes a source from the eastern Turkish mountains, crosses Syria and Iraq, then pours onto Persian Gulf after merging with the Tigris at Qurna near Basra to become Shatt al Arab. Crossing an arid region, the water distribution provokes frequently a dispute among riverside countries. The Euphrates is cited by the Bible as one of 4 rivers that flow from the garden of Eden. Its length is 2,780 km.
