Description
This mural, part of a series of 80+ murals lining the road from the outer gate of the civilian & military airbase. Each of these murals were at least 20ft in height and more than 40ft in length. Many of these works of art depicted what Basrah and the surrounding areas once resembled before Saddam destroyed the canals and/or rerouted them to suit his obsession with modernization which almost wiped this rare Arab culture off the map. They have now made a resurgence since Saddam's execution and their culture is once again thriving.
