Basra, also written Basrah (Arabic:البصرة; BGN: Al Başrah), is an Iraqi city located on the Shatt al-Arab river between Kuwait and Iran. It had an estimated population of 1.5 million of 2012. Basra is also Iraq's main port, although it does not have deep water access, which is handled at the port of Umm Qasr.
The city is part of the historic location of Sumer, one of the ports from which Sinbad the Sailor journeyed, and a proposed location of the Garden of Eden. It played an important role in early Islamic history and was built in 636 AD or 14 AH. It is Iraq's second largest and most populous city after Baghdad (Mosul has an uncertain population under ISIS occupation). Basra is consistently one of the hottest cities in Iraq, with summer temperatures regularly exceeding 50°C (122°F).
Etymology
The city was called by many names throughout its history, Basrah being the most common. In Arabic the word basrah means 'the overwatcher', which might have been an allusion to the city's origin as an Arab military base against the Sassanids. Some sources claim that the name is derived from the Persian word Bas-rah, which means "where many paths meet". Others have argued that the name is derived from the Aramaic word basratha, meaning 'place of huts' or 'settlement'.
Cairo, March 17, 2003. The US-UK strike against Iraq is imminent. How can an Egyptian photographer, in his thirties, surpass his own disappointments and fears? How can he find an answer to the existential questions pertaining to life, death, sex and logic amidst his awareness of all the absurdity around him? Can this artist remain alive (breathing, thinking, and photographing) and survive this oppressive atmosphere? Or is he going to fall with Baghdad?
Bastra, the Greek deformation of the Arabic word Basra, which is also a similar game played in Egypt, Lebanon and other Middle-Eastern countries, is a popular fishing card game similar to Cassino very popular in Cyprus. In Turkey, the game is known as Pişti or Paşta.
History
The game was probably introduced to the Cypriots through the Turks during the Ottoman occupation. There are also variations of the game played in Greece, such as Diloti and Kseri. The game has been exported by both the Cypriot and Turkish diasporas and is played in Cypriot communities in Australia, Canada, England and the United States, usually passed on by the first generation of immigrants to their children and grandchildren. Despite this, the game is virtually unknown in these countries outside of the Cypriot and Greek communities. In Turkey the game is still very popular.
The game
The game is played with a 52 card deck and can involve two, three or four players, although the game is most interesting in the two or four player versions. In the four player version, the players can play for themselves or in two player teams. The first team or player to score 100 points is the winner.
The Kingdom of Iraq under British Administration or Mandatory Iraq (Arabic:الانتداب البريطاني على العراقal-Intidāb al-Brīṭānī ‘Alá al-‘Irāq) was created in 1921 following the 1920 Iraqi Revolt against the proposed British Mandate of Mesopotamia, and enacted via the 1922 Anglo-Iraqi Treaty.
Faisal ibn Husayn, who had been proclaimed King of Syria by a Syrian National Congress in Damascus in March 1920, was ejected by the French in July of the same year. Faisal was then granted by the British the territory of Iraq, to rule it as a kingdom, with the British Royal Air Force (RAF) retaining certain military control, though de facto; the territory remained under British administration until 1932.
The civil government of postwar Iraq was headed originally by the High Commissioner, Sir Percy Cox, and his deputy, ColonelArnold Wilson. British reprisals after the murder of a British officer in Najaf failed to restore order. The most striking problem facing the British was the growing anger of the nationalists, who continued to fight against the imposition of British authority. British administration had yet to be established in Iraqi Kurdistan.
The indigenous Sumerians and Akkadians (including Assyrians and Babylonians) dominated Mesopotamia from the beginning of written history (c. 3100 BC) to the fall of Babylon in 539 BC, when it was conquered by the Achaemenid Empire. It fell to Alexander the Great in 332 BC, and after his death, it became part of the Greek Seleucid Empire.
One of my favourite places to travel in Iraq and i was so so happy to be able to bring a group of my followers to discover this amazing city earlier this year. Enjoy this Basra vlog!

DON'T go to BASRA (until you see this!) 🇮🇶 أمريكي في البصرة
Travel to Basra, Iraq in 2022 and visit the best places and experience the top things to do: Shanasheel, Shatt-al-Arab River boat ride, the meeting of the Tigris and Euphrates, and the incredible Basra Museum.
In Shanasheel I walked around the crumbling old Ottoman houses with intricate wood latticework. On the Shatt-al-Arab River I found the remains of Al Mansur, the former yacht of Saddam Hussein that was bombed in 2004. In the Basra Museum, I checked out artifacts, some as old as from 6,000 BCE. There you have well-preserved pieces from Mesopotamia, Babylon and Persia.

سافر إلى البصرة ، العراق في عام 2022 وقم بزيارة أفضل الأماكن وتجربة أفضل الأشياء التي يمكنك القيام بها: الشناشيل ، ركوب قارب نهر شط العرب ، لقاء نهري دجلة والفرات ، ومتحف البصرة المذهل.
في الشناشيل تجولت حول البيوت العثمانية القديمة المتداعية ذات التشبيك الخشبي المعقد. على نهر شط العرب وجدت بقايا يخت المنصور ، اليخت السابق لصدام حسين الذي تم تفجيره في عام 2004. في متحف البصرة ، تحققت من قطع أثرية ، بعضها يعود إلى 6000 سنة قبل الميلاد. هناك لديك قطع محفوظة جيدًا من بلاد ما بين النهرين وبابل وبلاد فارس.
بالنسبة لي ، هذه هي أهم مناطق الجذب في مسار رحلة البصرة ، لكن لم يكن لدي سوى يوم واحد لاستكشافها. يرجى التعليق على الأشياء الرائعة الأخرى التي يجب القيام بها في البصرة حتى أعلم في المرة القادمة! في صحتك ، فيل

One of my favourite places to travel in Iraq and i was so so happy to be able to bring a group of my followers to discover this amazing city earlier this year. Enjoy this Basra vlog!
Travel to Basra, Iraq in 2022 and visit the best places and experience the top things to do: Shanasheel, Shatt-al-Arab River boat ride, the meeting of the Tigris and Euphrates, and the incredible Basra Museum.
In Shanasheel I walked around the crumbling old Ottoman houses with intricate wood latticework. On the Shatt-al-Arab River I found the remains of Al Mansur, the former yacht of Saddam Hussein that was bombed in 2004. In the Basra Museum, I checked out artifacts, some as old as from 6,000 BCE. There you have well-preserved pieces from Mesopotamia, Babylon and Persia.
To me these are the top attractions in a Basra itinerary, but I only had one day to explore. Please comment on other great things to do in Basra so that I'll know for next time! Cheers, Phil

في الشناشيل تجولت حول البيوت العثمانية القديمة المتداعية ذات التشبيك الخشبي المعقد. على نهر شط العرب وجدت بقايا يخت المنصور ، اليخت السابق لصدام حسين الذي تم تفجيره في عام 2004. في متحف البصرة ، تحققت من قطع أثرية ، بعضها يعود إلى 6000 سنة قبل الميلاد. هناك لديك قطع محفوظة جيدًا من بلاد ما بين النهرين وبابل وبلاد فارس.
بالنسبة لي ، هذه هي أهم مناطق الجذب في مسار رحلة البصرة ، لكن لم يكن لدي سوى يوم واحد لاستكشافها. يرجى التعليق على الأشياء الرائعة الأخرى التي يجب القيام بها في البصرة حتى أعلم في المرة القادمة! في صحتك ، فيل

WELCOME to BASRA! The amount of people who told us that we have to come to BASRA was crazy, so many messages on instagram and YouTube and we are so glad we did! Found a very unique breakfast restaurant in the old town before stumbling through the market looking for an Iraqi Football Shirt before heading on to the river, we definitely got some special treatment this day.

Basra, also written Basrah (Arabic:البصرة; BGN: Al Başrah), is an Iraqi city located on the Shatt al-Arab river between Kuwait and Iran. It had an estimated population of 1.5 million of 2012. Basra is also Iraq's main port, although it does not have deep water access, which is handled at the port of Umm Qasr.
The city is part of the historic location of Sumer, one of the ports from which Sinbad the Sailor journeyed, and a proposed location of the Garden of Eden. It played an important role in early Islamic history and was built in 636 AD or 14 AH. It is Iraq's second largest and most populous city after Baghdad (Mosul has an uncertain population under ISIS occupation). Basra is consistently one of the hottest cities in Iraq, with summer temperatures regularly exceeding 50°C (122°F).
Etymology
The city was called by many names throughout its history, Basrah being the most common. In Arabic the word basrah means 'the overwatcher', which might have been an allusion to the city's origin as an Arab military base against the Sassanids. Some sources claim that the name is derived from the Persian word Bas-rah, which means "where many paths meet". Others have argued that the name is derived from the Aramaic word basratha, meaning 'place of huts' or 'settlement'.
