As one of the Gulf countries, Iraq provided the setting for the final chapter of the five-part series Tribes of Arabia.
Produced by Kia Middle East and Africa, the series traced a journey across the Gulf, beginning in the United Arab Emirates, continuing through Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and concluding in Basra and the Al-Ahwar wetlands.
The final episode features Eisa Alhabib of Kuwait and Abdulaziz Alfudhili of Saudi Arabia, who drove the beige Kia Tasman through Basra’s historic markets and along its waterways before entering the marshes.
The content influencers were introduced to the Marsh Arabs, also known as the Ma’dan people, whose way of life has been shaped for centuries by the wetlands.
Alhabib and Alfudhili stepped inside a traditional Mudhif, an arched structure built from reeds and rushes harvested from the marshes, and enjoyed Iraq’s popular Masqoof fish, prepared in the traditional riverside style.
By closing in Iraq, the series reinforced the country’s role within the Gulf region while celebrating the heritage of the Marsh Arabs and the ecological significance of the southern wetlands.
