Baghdad is a resilient and dynamic Iraqi capital, situated along the historic Tigris River, a vital artery that divides the city into two distinct halves: Rusafah and Al-Karkh. As a key cultural and economic hub, the city boasts a storied past, having once served as the glorious centre of the Abbasid Caliphate and the world’s pre-eminent “Center of Learning” during the Islamic Golden Age. Today, you can explore this rich history firsthand by visiting the Iraq Museum, which houses an unparalleled collection of artefacts from Mesopotamia’s ancient civilisations, including Sumerian and Babylonian treasures. Be sure to stroll through the bustling and literary atmosphere of Al-Mutanabbi Street, the city's famous book market and vibrant cultural heart. For a glimpse into Baghdad’s profound educational heritage, discover the stunning Islamic architecture of the Al-Mustansiriya Madrasah, one of the world's oldest learning institutions. The city's modern, enduring spirit is symbolised by the striking turquoise dome of the Al-Shaheed Monument.
