The Sajur (Arabic: نهر الساجور, romanized: Nahr as-Sājūr [næhr æs sæːˈd͡ʒuːr]; Turkish: Sacır Suyu^[1]) is a 108 kilometres (67 mi) long river originating in Turkey and flowing into the Euphrates in Syria. It is the smallest of the three rivers joining the Euphrates in Syria, and the only one that joins the Euphrates on its western bank. Occupation in the Sajur basin started in the Lower Palaeolithic period and continues until today.
