Al-Basra Oil Terminal, Mina Al Bakr Terminal

Al Başrah Oil Terminal (ABOT) is another crucial player in Iraq's oil industry. Located strategically 50 km southeast of the Al-Faw Peninsula, this deep-sea terminal handles a significant portion of the country's oil exports. Similar to KAAOT, ABOT prioritizes oil operations over leisure facilities. Shopping and dining options are limited, but basic necessities might be available. The true appeal lies in witnessing the offshore oil operations and the expansive Persian Gulf. Learning about ABOT's role in Iraq's economy enriches the visit. While nightlife is limited due to the industrial setting, the serenity of the gulf under a star-filled sky offers a unique experience.
