Who Truly Understands the Magic of Traveling in Iraq?
Iraq, a country in Southwest Asia 🚗, was once one of the wealthiest nations in the Middle East during the early 1980s 🛰. Yet, Iraq is also home to countless breathtaking destinations—are you ready to explore? ⭐ Must-Visit Attractions in Iraq 🔸 Iraq National Museum (Baghdad) Located in the heart of Baghdad, this is Iraq’s oldest and most prestigious museum, housing 250,000+ artifacts. Ranked by UNESCO as the 11th best museum in the world, it reopened with free admission in 2009. 🔸 Hanging Gardens of Babylon (Ancient Wonder) One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, built in the 6th century BC by King Nebuchadnezzar II for his homesick queen. The terraced gardens, filled with exotic plants, appeared to "float" in the air—hence the name. 🔸 Samarra Archaeological City (UNESCO World Heritage) Added to UNESCO’s list in 2007 (and the List of World Heritage in Danger). Its iconic 9th-century Great Mosque & Spiral Minaret (Malwiya Tower) are architectural marvels. 🔸 Erbil Citadel (Oldest Inhabited Place on Earth) A 6,000-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site in Kurdistan’s capital. One of the world’s oldest continuously lived-in settlements, offering a surreal blend of ancient history and modern Kurdish life. #OffTheBeatenPath #IraqTravel #MiddleEastAdventures #AncientWonders #TravelDeeper
