Al Sweelh (السويله) is a town of Basra Governorate in Iraq on the west bank of the Shatt al-Arab River, and is linked to the town of Al Qurnah by road bridge.[1][2]
The topography is flat, the elevation is 4m above sea level and the climate arid. The area suffered greatly during the Iran–Iraq War, during which it was a major battlefield, and again after the 1991 Iraqi uprising.
