best places to visit in iraq
Sulaymaniyah
Sulaymaniyah, also called Slemani, is a city in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, not far from the Iran–Iraq border.
This is one of the most welcoming and relaxed cities in Iraq and is deemed safe to visit by some foreign governments. Sulaymaniyah is located in the rugged mountains in northern Iraq and has a cool climate compared with many other cities in the country. It also has a thriving arts scene and is famous for its wealth of delicious eateries where you can enjoy toothsome spiced kofta as well as biryani and an array of other delicacies.
Babylon
Babylon was the capital city of the ancient Babylonian Empire.
The name of the city brings up images of ancient empires, hanging gardens, and epic battles between Alexander the Great and Persian kings. It is fair to say that restoration and preservation have rather taken a back seat here in recent times, but you can still take in some of the majestic castles as well as the vast remains of Homera. As you explore Babylon, know that you are walking in the footsteps of great emperors of this part of the world, and you can marvel at artifacts such as gracefully crumbling lion statues and imagine how the Hanging Gardens of Babylon would once have looked.
