A Land Where Time Begins
Iraq, land of old Mesopotamia, is not only a place to visit: to spend time in this country is to take a journey through time itself. From the world’s first writing to ziggurats, from holy shrines to colorful bazaars, Iraq takes travelers deep into the beginning of civilisation, religion, and the state. Today, excellent guided tours bring this astounding land, where history has been forged for more than five millennia, easily accessible to the awed modern traveller.
Two Unforgettable Tours: 10-Day or 15-Day Itineraries
Whether you are an ancient history enthusiast, spiritual traveler, or cultural explorer, Iraq promises a journey like no other.
For those seeking a well rounded introduction, the 10-Day Iraq Guided Tour offers both spiritual and historical highlights. The trip begins in Baghdad and takes in famous sites including Babylon, Karbala, Najaf, Samarra and Basra. During the tour you’ll visit archaeological ruins, UNESCO World Heritage sites and sacred monuments, all in between comfortable hotels, traditional meals and professional guiding.
For those with more time and a deeper interest, the 15-Day Iraq Tour delves deeper into Iraq’s layered history. This farther-reaching itinerary affords more stops — it includes sites in Hatra, Mosul and Amadiya — and is not only Islamic and Mesopotamian but Assyrian and Christian. The tour is a mix of a little archaeology, religion, art, and local culture which offers you a complete and rewarding experience.
