antigua ciudad del sur de Mesopotamia
Ur was one of the most important cities in ancient Mesopotamia, located in what is now southern Iraq near the Euphrates River, and it served as a significant city-state beginning around the 26th century BC. The site, now called Tell el-Muqayyar, was originally situated on the coast of the Persian Gulf, though changes in the coastline have left it inland today.

Ur fue una antigua ciudad del sur de Mesopotamia. Originalmente, estaba localizada cerca de Eridu y de la desembocadura del río Éufrates en el golfo Pérsico. Hoy en día, sus ruinas se encuentran a 24 km al suroeste de Nasiriya, en el actual Irak. En julio de 2016, la Unesco eligió el sitio arqueológico de Ur como Patrimonio Mixto de la Humanidad, como «parte de los vestigios arqueológicos de asentamientos sumerios en la Baja Mesopotamia, que florecieron entre el tercer y cuarto milenio a de C. en el delta pantanoso formado por los ríos Éufrates y Tigris».
