Descrizione della torre

Experience an extraordinary journey to Iraq! This short tour will bring you from Basra to Baghdad, where you'll explore the remarkable highlights of Southern Iraq nestled between these two cities. This area flaunts unparalleled, globally renowned heritage, yet remains largely uncharted by mainstream tourism, providing an untouched terrain for exploration. With a wealth of ancient and contemporary history awaiting revelation, our journey will guide us from Basra upwards to the revered cities of Najaf and Karbala, then onwards to the storied landmarks of Babylon, Baghdad, and Samarra.
