Top Iraq hotels
visit Kerbela: 2 islamic monuments are the main attractions in Kerbela: the shrine of Abu-l-Abbas and the one of Hussein. Both men were some of the most honoured martyrs in islam, especially in the shiitic islam. A shrine is a large mosque, ver much decorated with the sarcophagus of the mentioned person inside. In Iraq it is normally not allowed to enter the inner part of a shrine. pic shows: Abu-l-Abbas Shrine
Baghdad: the famous city of the stories of alf laila wa laila - 1001 nights. It is somehow disappointing if you expect the city to have the old charme mentioned in the 'alf laila'. Baghdad is a modern city with all the advantages and disadvantages of that.As a modern city Baghdad takes a lot of it's charme from the river Tigris. I was quite impressed how 'normal' life was in Baghdad in 1998. Nothing to see of the bombings from the war. ... more later
do a trip to Babylon: Unfortunately the buildings of this worldfamous city have been destroyed not only once. What you can see today are mostly rebuilt palaces, walls, ceremonial avenues, ... While the famous statue of the Lion of Babylon remained there many other pieces have been taken away to museums in Iraq and abroad. Ishtar gate is may be the most well known piece having been removed from it's original place. There is a copy in Babylon today that shows a little how the gate looked and how it wellcomed travellers and visitors. I can just hope that once the original gate will find it's way back from Berlin to Babylon.
