Iraq

For years, travel to the south of Iraq was deemed too dangerous, but it seems that is absolutely a thing of the past. With Baghdad well and truly recovered from conflict, new modern sections of the city seem to be popping up daily with modern shopping centres and hipster coffee shops becoming increasingly common.

The increase in safety means that now is the perfect time to begin exploring the sites of Babylon, Ur and others from the cradle of civilisation. On top of this you can now experience the most ornate and holy sites of Najaf and Karbala, and also the ecological wonder that is the southern marshes near Basra.

You may have been to Kurdistan in the north, but now is your time to head south to Baghdad!
