Visas and Extensions

by maykal

Visas are available for many nationalities at border crossings and airports. EU passport holders are given a free 10-day visa on arrival, although this is only valid for the Kurdistan region (i.e. the Kurdish regions of Dohuk, Erbil and Slemani (Suleymaniyeh), as well as Kurdish-held territories in the provinces of Nineveh and At-Tamim), not for the rest of Iraq. Ten days is enough to get over to Slemani and back (if pressed, you can get to Slemani from the Turkish border in one long day), but I wanted a bit more time to explore, which meant extending my visa.To extend your visa, you need to go along to the Residency Office in Erbil, known as Iqaamet Ainkawa. Taxi drivers will tell you that there are two, so ask for the new one near the airport (al-iqaama al-jadida qariiba min al-mutaar). Go early on your last day, before 9am if possible, as all foreigners in Iraq (and there are a...

Family reunion

by marimar_72

Visiting My family!My uncle came long ago,from Indonesia (more than 60 years ago) to finish his studies to Iraq,he then setteld there and married an Iraquie lday,actually she`s a Kurd.he had 7 children from her,they all grew up to be either doctors or engineers.My uncle passed away in 1988,I saw him for the last time when he came to Makkah/Saudi Arabia to preform a spiritual visit called Hajj.I had visited Iraq twice,once when I was 7 or 8 and again in 1989,but my mom always likes to say I visited it three times,as in 1971 she visited it with my father,when she came back she knew that she was pregnant(with me). It was the time where I got to meet my cousins and get to know each other`s cultures!I remember their Arabic accent was so hard for me to understand we used to communicate with English language some times!

French Culpability

by american_tourister

At the tank factory that was operated by Saddam's military you can find parts and boxes everywhere that are labeled in French or as being made in France. So much for that "Oil for food" program! Thank you France for stabbing everyone else in the back while Saddam tortured, gassed, and starved his own people.

by fabrice

I went with a french group,starting from paris,then amman by plane.We travelled by bus from amman to baghdad(16 hours+the border);we stayed 12 days in iraq,visiting many archeological and cultural sites.Iraq has a very rich history,made of very different cultures(mesopotamia,assyria,christian,sunnite moslem,shiite moslem...) I had a good relationship with our 2 iraqi guides(one moslem,the other one christian),I spent one evening in their hotel room drinking arak(iraqi alcohol)and talking about iraqi girls(pfffff,have you ever seen more beautiful girls ????)

by Silaf

Go out shopping, you will love shopping there. They have everything from jewelry to food.You must try their pastries, they are the greatest. I was born and raised there, everything I saw was beautiful, especially up in the north where the Kurds live. But remember you have to be careful up north because of tribal conflicts. The one thing that strikes me is the mountain, you can go and have a beautiful picnic, dancing, hiking, or just go for the sight. Baghdad is one of the most splendid places you will ever see, its history and just the people there will amaze you. Everything from food to visiting relatives. My best memory are the parks and the restaurants.

by MProcher

visit Samarra with the worldfamous spiral minaret.The city is interesting because of the spiral minaret, the Askari Shrines, the Qubbat as-Sulaimaniyya and some more or less preserved palaces. Most interesting for a visitor is the spiral minaret of the old mosque which dates back to the middle of the 9th century.don't miss the travelogues!809 the great Harun ar-Raschid died in Baghdad which was the aboslute centre of power in the whole Middle East ab this time. Two of his sons - al Amin (whom Harun had nominated to be his successor) and al Ma'mun - were fighting for the throne. In 813 al Ma'mun conquered Baghdad, where enormous damage was done to the round city, and put al-Amin to death. For his campains against the Byzantine Empire in Konstantinople he imported thousands of Turks from Central Asia year by year. Two decades later right these Turkish troops caused lot's of disorders in...

by MProcher

take some days for Mossul. In the are you will find several excavations of old Mesopotamian cultur: Ninive, Khorsabad, Ashur, Nimrud. But Mossul itself is worth a visit as well. The people who live there are quite different from the Baghdadis. Mossul is located in the north of Iraq where a large quantity of Kurds lives, even other ethnic groups live in the mountains but only in very few numbers.The people of Mossul are a mixture of the Arabs and others from the south + Kurds and others from the north. pic shows: view over the Tigris with Mossul on the western banks

Visit the city of Basra. The beautiful old capital of the south is located at the Shatt el Arab. After two wars it has suffered a very lot but you can still find the charming Basra that is so much known from the stories of Sindbad.
