Irak

Iraq Essentials

Iraq’s historical landscape spans from the ancient Mesopotamian archaeological site of Kutha to the 9th-century Abbasid architecture of Samarra, home to the iconic spiral Malwiya Minaret and the Al-Askari Shrine. This selection also includes the remote As Slman desert fortress in Al-Muthanna and the natural scenery of the Sirwan River near Sazan. These sites reflect a mix of early Islamic engineering, significant religious heritage, and the varied topography of the Tigris and Euphrates basins.
