A few years ago i was visiting Kurdistan – north Iraq. A wonderful country with troubled history and an unclear future. South Iraq, in my mind, was always connected with military conflicts. I didn’t fell sorry for a second that this year i overcame my fear and under the leadership of Balin Zrar i stepped on the land of Gilgamesh!
“When you dig in Iraq you can find a few different things – 1.Oil 2.Water 3.Achielogical sites 4.Burial ground“
I hope some day after archeological research in Uruk, Ur, Babilon… we can recreate the life of the people there 7000-8000 years ago. I knew a lot about the rivers Tigris and Euphrates, but for the first time i saw them in the south part of Iraq.
The Man-dan tribe, modern life, holy shrines, Baghdad… there are a lot of sites to see here!
Our travel turned into a paradise thanks to our precious guide Balin. A man with an amazing life story, full of optimism and joy!
Would recommend to anyone who would like to visit!
