Home to ancient holy sites, breathtaking mountains and buzzing cities, Iraq still has a lot to offer despite its troubled past. Located in the heart of Mesopotamia where the first great civilsations were founded, it radiates with old-world charm.
Iraq’s capital of Baghdad is also its cultural core, with a National Museum and various sights including the Monument to the Unknown Soldier, Al-Shaheed Monument and the Al Kadhimain Shrine.
The archaeological site at Ashur is the former capital of the Assyrian Empire and many temple and palace remains have been excavated in recent times. You can explore further ruins at the sites of Ctesiphon and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hatra.
The Iraqi Kurdistan region in the north is also worth exploring, defined by its waterfalls, mountains and natural springs. The area offers plenty of opportunities for hiking amongst these sights, as well as the large lake of Dokan and the ancient cave paintings at Gondik.
Currently, most accommodation comes in the form of hotels located in Erbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan. A limited number of hotels are also available in Baghdad.

Guest review
An exceptional hotel and certainly the best I stayed in during a week in Iraqi Kurdistan. THe staff were all trained so well - they were courteous, friendly and spoke a generally excellent level of English. The swimming pool area (indoor/outdoor) with two saunas, steam room, Hamam and jacuzzi was superb, and opening hours of 6am to midnight were more than generous. The location is out of town (so no traffic noise) but easy to get to. WiFi was consistent and strong, and room service very reasonably priced with a large selection. My only slight complaint was that, being there during Ramadan, the usual buffet breakfast was replaced by serving a set breakfast, which included many items I would never choose on a buffet. I imagine if visitors go when the usual buffet breakfast is running it would be very good, and certainly preferable to having someone in the kitchen decide what you might want to eat!
