Discover the cradle of civilization in a country where ancient Mesopotamia, historic cities, and rich cultural heritage create a destination that tells the story of human civilization itself. Iraq is a nation of extraordinary historical significance—from the ancient ruins of Babylon where the Hanging Gardens once stood as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, to the historic streets of Baghdad where every corner tells a story of empires that rose and fell, from the ancient ziggurats that showcase the genius of Sumerian architecture, to the peaceful villages where traditional life continues unchanged. This is a country where every archaeological site tells a story of ancient greatness, where every meal is a celebration of flavors that have been perfected over millennia, and where the concept of 'Iraqi hospitality' reflects the warmth and generosity of its people. From the spiritual heart of the historic mosques to the peaceful countryside of the Tigris and Euphrates valleys, from the dramatic landscapes of the northern mountains to the pristine wilderness of the southern marshes, from the world-famous cultural sites to the traditional markets that offer a glimpse into authentic Iraqi culture—Iraq offers experiences that range from the deeply spiritual to the naturally spectacular. Whether you're exploring the ancient ruins of Babylon, visiting the historic mosques of Baghdad, or simply enjoying a traditional Iraqi meal while watching the sunset over the Tigris River, Iraq has the power to transport you through time and remind you of the incredible achievements of human civilization.
