Modern Basra is Iraq's chief port and a focal point of the nation's oil exports. Palm groves once thrived here, though wars and environmental pressures have affected agriculture. Today, efforts to revitalize the waterfront and restore canals underscore Basra's strategic and historical importance as Iraq's maritime soul.
