According to the Bible, it was located between the Pison river, the Gihon river, the Hiddekel river and the Euphrates river. Assuming that the Euphrates river of Genesis is whqat is called the Euphrares river today, it would place the garden in modern day Iran or Iraq.

The actual geographic garden would have been taken out by the flood. The tree of life no longer exists on land instead it is in heaven according to Revelations 2:7 "To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God"
But it was between the Tigris and the Euphrates... known as Mesopotamia- the land between two rivers.... now? Iraq. Interesting huh!

Do you mean today?
Back then, I don't know where it was, but I believe my church would know; they study the Bible every day and research things.
Check out their site:

Paradise means a "garden, pleasure ground: grove, park"--"a grand enclosure or preserve...shady and well watered...enclosed by walls"(Thayer's Greek English Lexicon of the New Testament).
Paradise is located in the presence of God's throne in heaven (2COR.12:1-4).

Funny you ask this because there is an archaeologists who thinks he may have found it in a very remote part of Turkey....his analysis and investigation are very compellign and he hinges his discovery on the interpretation of the names of the rivers used in the bible...since many of those old names are no longer in use.....no other scientists have jumped on the band wagon as of yet..........

Traditionally, somewhere between the Tigris and Euphrates in Iraq. In reality, nowhere. It's a fairy tale.
