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?!

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.
