Eva zu Beck: What it’s like to be a Tourist in Iraq | Baghdad and the Ancient City of Babylon

Iraq wouldn’t be most people’s first choice of destination. The country has been considered unstable for a long time now. The German foreign office warns people off visiting. Years of dictatorship, war and terrorism have left their mark. But this country between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers is also a cradle of civilization, where some of the earliest advanced cultures developed. Travel vlogger @evazubeck explored ancient Babylon, once one of the most important cities of antiquity. Back in Bagdahd, she visited bazars and cafés, and immersed herself in the Iraqi capital’s nightlife. Watch her adventures! Good to know: Since April 2021, travelers from 37 countries no longer have to apply for a visa in advance to enter Iraq. Instead, you can get one on entry. For a long time it wasn’t that simple. So Eva grabbed her chance at the end of 2021. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to DW Travel Would you like to find out more about DW Travel? ▸Website: ▸Facebook: ▸Instagram: DW Travel is showing you the captivating world of travel.
