Synopsis :

In one sense Iraq is timeless, its place names resonating across the years - for this is Mesopotamia, the Land between Two Rivers. Between the Tigris and the Euphrates, three great religions were born, and no place in the world is so steeped in ancient history. But modern Iraq is under threat from every quarter. Politics play havoc with ordinary lives; sanctions cut deep. In the face of such adversity, one could understand hostility; yet today's rare visitors are met with a broad hospitality that belles years of deprivation, and harks back to a time when this beleaguered country could show the world the meaning of the word 'welcome'. • History, ancient and modern • Access and red tape • Accommodation, restaurants and transport • Travelling in Iraq, from Baghdad to the Marshlands • A to Z of archaeological sites, including Babylon and Ur • Safety, security and sanctions

À propos de l'auteur: Karen Dabrowska is a journalist specialising in Middle Eastern affairs. The main contributor, Geoff Hann, has been leading tours to Iraq since the 1980s.
