Zurbatiyah
Zurbatiyah is a city located in Wāsiţ, Iraq and is a busy port of entry from Iran. It is mainly inhabited by Feyli Kurds and is just across the border from Mehran, Ilam, in Iran.
The Zurbatiyah port of entry, east of Baghdad, is one of Iraq's busiest crossing points. Hundreds of Iranians, mainly pilgrims heading for the Shiite holy cities of Najaf and Karbala, cross the border on foot each day. [1]
