Ur Ziggurat &Marshes Itinerary

Ur Ziggurat &Marshes Itinerary

After breakfast visit the Ziggurat of Ur, a neo-Sumerian construction built in 2000 BC.This used to be the capital of Mesopotamia during the Sumerian time and it is a UNESCO world heritage site since 2016 , then drive south to the Mesopotamian Marshes. We’ll take a boat trip through the maze of marshes stopping by local villages for tea. The marshes once engulfed a whole swathe of Southern Iraq with numerous floating villages. Today the receding waters have led most families to change their livelihood but we’ll still see the few that remain.

It is also home to the Maʻdān population who over the centuries have adapted to life on the water. Stop by a traditional house for photos.

Tour the local market of Chibayesh

Back to Bahgdad.

Frequently Asked Questions

Iraq has an unfortunate reputation, which will take a long time to resolve. However, that’s why I’m here! I’ll show you Iraq today, a land inhabited by beautiful Iraqis who carry on with their lives and show nothing but kindness to any foreign guest they may bump into. Despite trouble in the past, safety in Iraq has significantly improved. Please note: Iraqi Kurdistan has always been relatively safe and has separate borders with the rest of the country.

Iraq has now introduced a visa on arrival scheme for citizens of the EU, UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Russia, China Japan & South Korea. If you are not from one of these countries then we will apply for a visa on your behalf. An invitation letter is issued and you can bring this to your local embassy to apply for the visa.

Our groups are capped at 10 people for added flexibility and comfort.

The security situation in Iraq has improved significantly in recent years. However, I recommend you speak with a reputable travel insurance provider in your home country before you travel to Iraq. Travel insurance provides financial protection if you face certain problems when you're travelling. It covers a range of possibilities, from lost luggage to the cost of medical care if you become ill or have an accident.
