Semalka Border Crossing (Arabic: معبر سيمالكا الحدودي; Kurdish: Deriyê Sêmalka), is a border crossing established between the Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq and the Kurdish-led Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria during the Syrian Civil War about 1 km downstream from the Iraqi–Syrian–Turkish tripoint and just north of Faysh Khabur in Iraq and Khanik in Syria consisting of a pontoon bridge across the Tigris.
The border crossing has been intermittently closed by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), but has been open permanently since June 2016,[1][2] and economic exchange has since then begun to normalize between Northeastern Syria and the Kurdistan Region.[1]
