The Marsh Arabs, or Maʻdān, lived for centuries in the wetlands of southern Iraq, building reed houses and living off the rivers. After the 1991 Gulf War, many supported uprisings against Saddam Hussein. In retaliation, Saddam’s regime drained the marshes, diverting the Tigris and Euphrates to destroy their homeland and cut off rebel support.

The Marsh Arabs (Maʻdān) are an Indigenous people of southern Iraq’s Mesopotamian Marshes, living in floating reed houses and relying on fishing, water buffalo, and canoe-like boats (mashhoofs). Their ancient way of life nearly disappeared when Saddam Hussein drained the marshes in the 1990s, forcing many into exile. Since 2003, efforts to restore the marshes have helped some return, but climate change and water shortages continue to threaten their survival. #travel #solotravel #iraq #iraqi #ira
