Al-Basrah in Iraq.

Shafi (الشافي ) is a town of Basrah Governorate in southern Iraq, on the west bank of the Shatt Al-Arab River.[1]

Shafi is located at 34°18'45" north and 44°17'17" east.[2] The area is close to the Mesopotamian Marshes (Hammar Marshes), and has traditionally been home to many Marsh Arabs.[citation needed] The topography is flat and the climate arid.

The area suffered greatly during the Iran–Iraq War, during which it was a major battlefield, and again after the 1991 Iraqi uprising.[citation needed]
