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.

Marsh Arabs, or Maʻdān, are an indigenous people of southern Mesopotamia who have lived for millennia in Iraq’s vast marshlands, relying on reed houses, fishing, and water buffalo herding.
