The river which flows from Asia Minor, through Syria and, after joining the Tigris River in central Iraq, empties into the Persian Gulf; approximately 2,230 miles (3,589 kilometers) in length.
The city of Babylon was located on the Euphrates River which contributed to the Babylonian Empire’s wealth and, according to Herodotus, the river was the means by which the Persians (led by Kyrus (Cyrus) captured the city; the Persians diverted the Euphrates River and entered the city in the shallow river bed.
