What makes Iraq a special destination?
Iraq is the birthplace of civilization. The earliest urban settlements sprang up in southern Iraq, with Eridu, Ur, and Uruk being among the first urban cities globally. The remains of the Sumerians, followed by the Akkadians, Babylonians and the Assyrians, are still extant. Ancient ziggurats, gates, temples, palaces, and much more remain standing in their original sites.
Iraq also has a glorious medieval past, marked by the Abbasid Caliphate (r. 750-1258), which ruled from Central Asia to Morocco. Their monuments, including spiral minarets, schools, mosques and palaces, are preserved, particularly in Baghdad and Samarra.
