2-Day Tour in Baghdad: Journey Through Time

Where empires rose, poets dreamed, and resilience never sleeps.

Welcome to Baghdad — not just a city, but a legend carved in calligraphy, shadowed by minarets, echoed in alleyways, and carried on the wind of the Tigris.
Over two unforgettable days, we invite you to feel the pulse of a city that has shaped the world and continues to write its own future — one monument, one mosque, one moment at a time.

Day One: Between Ink and Revolution

 The Iraqi National Museum

Begin where it all began — in a sanctuary of 5,000 years.
From Sumerian tablets to Abbasid ceramics, this museum is not just a collection — it's a resurrection of civilizations.

• Stand before treasures of Ur, Babylon, Nineveh, and beyond

• Gaze upon the earliest scripts etched into clay — the birth of writing itself

• Let time collapse as you walk among kings, scribes, and forgotten gods

 Al-Rasheed Street: Where Baghdad Thinks Aloud

Step into the beating heart of old Baghdad.
This historic avenue once hosted philosophers, revolutionaries, and poets beneath Ottoman facades and iron balconies.

• Hayder-Khana Mosque — a place of prayer and protest

• Murjan Mosque — quiet, beautiful, and steeped in memory

• Al-Zahawi Café — sip tea where poets once argued about destiny

• Souk Al-Haraj — a maze of antique wonders and whispering relics

 Souk Al-Safafeer (Copper Market)

Hear the hammers sing as copper glows beneath the artisan’s touch.
In this market, Abbasid-era traditions live on — alive in every tray, lamp, and engraved verse.

• Watch masters at work, crafting history into household art

• Discover rare souvenirs that speak of legacy, not mass production

 Al-Mutanabbi Street: Baghdad’s Book Spine

No city has loved books like Baghdad.
Walk this literary boulevard where booksellers line the walls and words flow like water.

• Pause for coffee at Al-Shabander Café — a sacred space for writers and thinkers

• Browse secondhand tomes, revolutionary posters, and modern art

• Follow the curve of the Tigris, where time slows and thoughts deepen

 Lunch: A Taste of Baghdad

Sit down in a cozy, traditional setting.
Savor spiced rice, grilled meats, dolma, and warm flatbread — food that comforts, just like the city itself.

 Al-Firdos Square & The 17th of Ramadan Mosque

A plaza that changed the world.
Once home to Saddam Hussein’s statue, now a symbol of endurance and transformation.

• Visit the elegant 17th of Ramadan Mosque nearby — a tribute to Baghdad’s evolving spiritual and architectural story

 Martyrs’ Monument

A blue dome rises from still waters — quiet, bold, and aching with memory.

• This modernist structure honors the fallen — not just soldiers, but a nation’s dreams

• A moment to pause, reflect, and breathe

 Tahrir Square: The Voice of the People

The final stop — a square alive with history.
Home to protests, poetry, and the towering Freedom Monument, this space pulses with the voice of the Iraqi soul.

• See murals that speak of pain and hope

• Feel the heartbeat of a city that refuses to forget

Day Two: Echoes of Gods and Saints

 Ziggurat of Aqar Quf

Venture west, into the open desert.
Here stands a lonely ziggurat, all that remains of Dur-Kurigalzu — the ancient Kassite capital.

• Walk its crumbling ramparts

• Listen to the wind where priests once chanted to Enlil

• Let silence tell the story

 Saving Iraqi Culture Monument

Back in Baghdad, a sculpture holds a broken cylinder seal high in the air.
Bronze arms rise to preserve what war tried to erase.

• A powerful tribute to Iraq’s unmatched contribution to humanity’s heritage

• A reminder: what’s written can never truly be destroyed

 Al-Kadhimiya Shrine

Cross the bridge to Al-Kadhimiya, where gold domes shimmer in devotion.

• Visit the resting place of Imams Musa Al-Kadhim and Muhammad Al-Jawad

• Witness a sacred energy as pilgrims move in prayer

• Feel the spiritual weight of centuries held in marble and incense

 Lunch: Between Baghdad and the South

Enjoy a meal that blends the rich, earthy flavors of Iraq with Levantine freshness.
A satisfying pause before the journey continues into ancient Persia’s shadow.

 Taq Kasra: The Arch of Ctesiphon

Towering, crumbling, magnificent — the largest brick vault in the world.
This is all that remains of Ctesiphon, capital of the Parthian and Sasanian empires.

• Stand in awe beneath the 1,500-year-old arch

• Imagine royal processions and silk-road ambassadors beneath its shadow

 Panorama Al-Mada’in

Next door lies an abandoned museum and open-air theater from the 1980s.
Ruined, silent — yet still echoing with Iraq’s modern complexities.

• Explore faded murals, shattered stages, and grand plans left unfinished

• A place both eerie and beautiful — a metaphor for so much
