The Arab Marshes live in southern and south east of Iraq they live in tribes they fish using primitive ways of river fishing they also hunt migrant birds that migrate from Russia to the south of Iraq in the winter. these Arabs build their houses from reeds that grows in the marshes these houses built so they flout on the water not effected by the flood season . And because of their harsh life style no people are willing to settle in their Marshes or adopt their life style so They (the Arab from these Marshes) rarely mingle or marry outsiders and they stayed like that rough thousands of years and they are considered to be the Indigenous people of Iraq , they are know to be very friendly and forgiving and welcoming and they have a rich culture that contributed to the Iraqi Culture, many Iraqi poets and singers came from these marshes.
