Iraq for Visitors
Visiting Iraq at the moment may
not be the most 5-star Resort trip, but it will be a memorable one.
Though the country is currently politically unstable, and probably not
fit for most travelers, it is possible to visit.

Hobotraveler - Be sure and look at this site for one man's daily journal from Iraq
of August 2003 and his keen observations coming from an "average joe"
rather than a media journalist or a hotel brochure. Whatever you might
think, he's got some very historical pictures up on his site, and a
perspective which you don't see on the television or the newspaper.
Worth a look.
Whatever may happen in Iraq, we
hope that tourism will bring more visitors and well needed money to
the country's people in their quest to rebuild their nation and their
cultural identity. Keep up to date here at gomideast.com with the latest
