Maysan, in south-eastern Iraq, borders Iran and holds a large share of the Mesopotamian marshes, where Marsh Arabs live in houses made of reeds. The governorate capital Amarah sits on the Tigris, and the Hawizeh Marshes to the east straddle the border and are part of a UNESCO-listed wetland landscape.The tomb of the prophet Ezra at Al-Uzair is an important pilgrimage site. Maysan tour packages appeal to nature lovers and birdwatchers. The best months are November to March, when the weather is mild and the marshes have migratory birds.

November to March is best for birds and mild weather. Summers are extremely hot.
Two days cover Amarah and a boat trip into the marshes. It is often combined with Basra or Dhi Qar.
Yes, boat trips run with local guides, but access depends on water levels and security advice. Always travel with a licensed operator.
