The safest way to travel around Iraq is by air. The bird of choice is the UH 60 Black Hawk. It is fast, manuverable, nimble, has redundant systems, and is a proven work horse.
The Black Hawk carries us around from place to place and gives us very short travel times to deal with. I am very, very grateful that the Army allows us to travel by air. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The best and may be the only available now is the road way from Jordan...
Currently, all the visitors to Iraq should come by Bus or by taxi from Amman of Jordan... In the eastern part of Amman the Iraq Taxis Park is the best place to hire a taxi, also the bus station is located there....
Traveling by air is very limit now...
Other ways are available now... The road way from syria, by taxis.
Or the sea way from UAE and Bahreen
Getting around, the best thing I suggest you to do there is to hire a care with a driver. Rent a car is not that known there (not sure about that)... but still my advice to hire a care with the driver for cirten days... and you have to infomr the hotel you are living in (and may be than can help you to arrange that) some infomration about your driver.

We used to use the orange(almost red) and white taxi,,it was very cheap then.
But we had to bargain the price with the driver before riding. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

since december 2001,there is a regular flight with jordanian airlines amman-bagdad;also charter flights with Gulf Falcon:damas-bagdad and beyrouth-bagdad;formaly,the best way was a bus from amman,abdali station:amman-bagdad,16 hours to reach bagdad,you might stay 7 hours at the border,you will probably have to bear an AIDS test at the border,which will cost you 50$;
you can try a collective taxi:amman-bagdad;
the border with iran is now open;
if you travel with an agency or tour-operator,they will take you in charge from amman to amman;
at the iraqi consulate in amman,you can get a tourist-visa to iraq,provided of course that you have never heard of israel in your life Theme: Other

To get there, you need go by airline, but to travel in and out of the city, travel by bus or taxi.
by airline to get to the country, travel by taxi while in Iraq. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

There are still many US cars from the 60s and 70s. Chevy + Ford limousines and trucks are dominating the street sceneries.
At the moment it's more than difficult to travel through Iraq individually. I was on tour with my people in this old bus. Theme: Other

Getting to Iraq is a very problem in these days. As long as it is not allowed to enter the country by plane you have to arrive in Jordan at Amman airport and then travel to Baghdad by car.
From Amman to Baghdad it normally takes some 12 hours! including entry formalities - but this is fust an 'about time'.
The streets are of a very good quality but the distance itself is the problem. From Baghdad to the border at Rutba it is more than 570 km + 352 to Amman: makes a distance of mor than 920 km!
Travelling in Iraq is much easier than to enter the country. The bus system is not in it's best shape but it still exists. Taxis are quite affordable and available where ever you go. Of course, the best is if you rent a car - may be from Amman. But I don't know whether it is easy or difficult to travel around in an own car?! Theme: Other

The hotel I was staying at sent a boy up the street with me and he flagged a car down and arranged my ride from Zahko to Dohuk. It seems these shared cars are common modes of transportation and it only cost me about $5 to go from Zahko into downtown Dohuk. There were a couple of checkpoints along the way (leaving Zahko and entering Dohuk) but they were very hassle-free. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

$25 for a car. It is a short distance but there are taxes the driver must pay, so the price is inflated. You can only cross with a car. As soon as you arrive in Silopi everyone will know why you are there.
Do not tell the Turkish authorities you are going to the Kurdish areas. Tell them you're going somewhere else even though they will laugh at you and say you will be killed. Making some fake letters from an 'employer' is what got me in, but I'm not sure if this is necessary.
Do not have any papers in your bags or on your person that refers to Kurdistan or Kurds.
On the Iraqi side (across a small river) the PKK customs point will give you a paper to keep in your passport. In May 2004 they did not stamp passports. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home
