I believe you're talking about the Tigris and the Euphrates .
The Nile is a terrific river, but it's not in Asia.

The two principal rivers in Southwest Asia are the Tigris and Euphrates, both originating in Turkey and flowing into the Persian Gulf. The Tigris is shorter but known for its erratic flow, while the Euphrates is the longest and has historically supported many civilizations due to its fertile land. Together, they form a critical resource in the Fertile Crescent region, influencing agriculture and settlement patterns.
