Al Musayyib
Iraq
This town on both banks of the Euphrates in Iraq's Babil Province, Al Musayyib sits at the point where the river splits into the Hindiya and Hilla branches, with a compact centre that holds cafés and restaurants within walking distance of the water. The Hindiya Barrage lies just to the south, and the town occupies a position on the road linking Baghdad to Karbala. The Musayyib Power Plant is one of Iraq's principal electricity-generating facilities.
