Trip to Iraq focused on enjoying the archeology and landscapes of the country, as well as getting to know different peoples and cultures.<\/p>\n

Saddam Hussein’s regime, the US invasion followed by sectarian conflict and the rise of Islamic State have kept Iraq isolated from tourists for decades. The visit of Pope Francis in 2021 put Iraq back in the sights of tourism interested in the oldest history of humanity.<\/p>\n

Cultural wealth has been inevitably impacted by events. However, the archaeological and architectural heritage has been restored or is in the process of recovery. Iraqis welcome foreigners with open arms and there is security in the regions to visit. This will allow us to see first-hand mythical places from past and recent history. We will end this trip to Iraq in the ‘country of the Kurds’. It is a world apart that is worth discovering. Throughout the trip we will try to understand the cultural, political, social and religious reality of the country.<\/p>\n

The guide will be Bego\u00f1a Fern\u00e1ndez-Colmeiro<\/a>, an expert on Iraq.<\/p>\n
