Māchūl

Machul, also known as Bandar Mashur, lies near the head of Khor Musa on the northern Persian Gulf. The long tidal inlet penetrates the low, marshy coast of Khuzestan, offering sheltered waters behind the open gulf. The port appears in accounts of maritime traffic along the Persian coast, while the nearby waterways linked the coastal settlements with the riverlands around Dawraq and the Karun.
