Countries that border Iraq
6 land neighbours: Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Turkey. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
6 neighbours to keep in the right order.
5 countries in Asia have more than its 6 land borders; it is the same as Afghanistan and India. Of the 15 possible pairings among them, 5 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Turkey is the most connected of them, with 8 land borders of its own. All of them are on the Asia map with Iraq, and on the world map with everyone else.
