Al-Qurnah (Qurna) is a small village in southern Iraq about 74 km northwest of Basra, within the town of Nahairat.[2] Qurna (Arabic for corner) is located at the point where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers join to form the Shatt al-Arab.[2]

Current conditions [link]

There is the small Qurna Tourist Hotel built during Saddam Hussein's reign in order to encourage tourism for the region, however it is most likely not in use now.[3] As of the start of the Iraq War in 2003, conditions at the site were reportedly woeful.[4] Cracked pavement and bullet holes along with the poor condition of the tree itself made future tourism seem out of the question.[5] However, photographic evidence seen below and a certain amount of western presence has made it a viable tourist destination once again.[2]

You've Got The Love I Need

by: Al Green

Whoa, you're beautiful to me
More than my eyes can see
Your hair blowin' in the wind
I don't know why love should end
Stardust in the sky
I either love you or die
I've gotta have you in my life
I really wanna make you my wife
You got the love I need, baby
You got the love I need, baby
You got the love I need, baby
You got the love I need, baby
Oh, my only friend
The only truth I know
Oh, you taught me things about me
I never thought I'd know
Darlin', you been there for me, yeah
Through the strangest of the time
Oh, it must be meant to be
My kind of little love for mine
You got the love I need, baby
You got the love I need, baby
You got the love I need, baby
You got the love I need, baby
Stardust blowin' in the wind
I don't know why love should end
I like lovin' you, so
I'll never, never, never let you go
You got the love I need, baby
You got the love I need, baby
You got the love I need, baby
You got the love I need, baby
You got the love I need, baby
You got the love I need, baby
You got love I need, baby
