Faysh Khabur (Arabic: فيشخابور,[1] Kurdish: پێشابوور, romanized: Pêşabûr[2][3] Syriac: ܦܝܫ ܚܒܘܪ[4]) is a town on the northwestern edge of the Kurdistan Region in the Zakho District of Duhok Governorate of Iraq. It is named after the Khabur River on which the town is built, and lies on the confluence of the Tigris and Khabur river. The town is in a very strategic location, as it lies just 4 km south from the Semalka Border Crossing with Syria as well as being close to the border with Turkey.
The town is populated by Assyrians[5][6] and Yazidis.[7]
