Imam Hussain's Shrine

Reviewed By RamiY_11 - Chicago, United States

The interior of this Shrine, (as well as Imam Ali's Shrine in Najaf ) are superlative! They both attest to Persians' refined skills in decorating with mirror mosaics and chandeliers.Iraqis, unlike Iranians, allow non-Muslims to enter and take pictures.

Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib Shrine

Reviewed By travelholic99 - Hong Kong, China

The Shrine is the most impressive and beautiful shrine we visited during our 12 days tour. We were all very amazed by its elegant and gorgeous architecture, and the peacefulness and friendliness of the people, both the visitors and the staff inside the shrine. It's a life time experience to all of us indeed.

Al-Jawadain Holy Shrine

Reviewed By MaithamA - Baghdad, Iraq

Muslims around the world gather to pay a visit to the holy shrines of Imam Al-Jawadain, the grandsons of Prophet Mohammed, around the year. It’s the best place to seek calmness, pray, enjoy the architecture and live the history all combined. Through the way, you will be enjoying the walk through the old bazars of Kadhomaih and its people.

Tony Baba

Reviewed By delman1976 - Sulaymaniyah, Iraq

Very beautiful canyon with lots of roads leading to different paths. So be careful to have a guide or a local from that area with you so as not to get lost. It’s good hike for 7-10 hours and nice water stream running along the mid of the pathway.

Ziggurat of UR

Reviewed By BS777 - Huachuca City, United States

Visited while in the Army during a sandstorm in August 2004. Climbed the 103 steps to the Ziggurat of Ur of the Chaldeans. It was the temple to Nana the Moon god about 4100 years ago. It was most recently restored by Saddam Hussein so is in excellent condition. Also got to tour the ancient city of Ur and the nearby boyhood home of Abraham!!
