Known in Turkish as Furat, this river rises in the Armenian  plateau, where it divides itself into the Kara, or "Muddy", and  Murat, or "clear", branches before reuniting near the village of  Elazig in the Taurus mountains of southern Turkey. It then drops  about 1000 feet before emerging on the Syrian plateau near Samsat,  and from there it flows for about 1200 miles and is joined by such  tributaries as the Al-Khabur before reaching Lake al-Hammar near  the Persian Gulf. For 10 points name this river, which then joins  its companion, the Tigris, to form the Shatt-al Arab before  emptying into the sea.
